284330
Gold compounds
Heading 2843 — Colloidal precious metals; inorganic or organic compounds of precious metals, whether or not chemically defined; amalgams of precious metals
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 284330 when importing or exporting gold compounds, such as gold chloride or gold sulfate, often used in electronics or jewelry manufacturing. Proper classification ensures compliance with customs regulations.
This code specifically covers inorganic compounds of gold, distinguishing it from other precious metals like silver or platinum, which fall under different HS codes. For instance, HS-6 284320 pertains to silver compounds, while HS-6 284340 is for platinum compounds.
Gold compounds can be utilized in various applications, including catalysts in chemical reactions and in the production of certain types of glass. Understanding the specific use of the gold compound can help clarify its classification.
When classifying products, be aware that gold compounds may be found in different forms, such as powders or solutions, which can influence their classification. Always check the specific chemical composition and intended use.
