Heading 2841 — Salts of oxometallic or peroxometallic acids
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 284150 when importing or exporting salts such as chromates and dichromates, particularly those that are not specifically classified elsewhere. For example, if you're shipping potassium chromate, this code applies.
This code is distinct from HS-6 284140, which covers chromates and dichromates specifically derived from an oxometallic acid. If your product is a peroxochromate, then HS-6 284160 would be more appropriate.
The HS-6 284150 line encompasses salts of oxometallic and peroxometallic acids, which include various chromates and dichromates used in industrial applications. These compounds often serve as pigments or in metal treatment processes.
When classifying your product, consider its specific chemical composition and intended use. For instance, sodium dichromate is commonly used in leather tanning and metal finishing, while potassium chromate can be found in dye manufacturing.
