382440
Cements, mortars or concretes; their prepared additives
Heading 3824 — Prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included
Chapter 38: Miscellaneous chemical products
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 382440 when importing or exporting prepared binders specifically designed for foundry moulds or cores. For example, this code applies to a shipment of a cement-based binder used in metal casting processes.
This code is distinct from HS-6 382441, which covers similar products but specifically focuses on those that are used for construction applications rather than foundry processes. Understanding these differences is crucial for accurate classification.
Prepared binders under this code often include mixtures that enhance the performance of foundry materials, such as those that improve adhesion or reduce shrinkage during the casting process. They may come in bags or bulk containers.
When considering this code, be aware of the specific formulations and intended uses of the products. For example, a binder that contains silica and clay for metal casting would fall under this classification.
