HS-6 · Subheading
382485
Chemical products, mixtures and preparations; containing goods specified in Subheading Note 3 to this Chapter; containing 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH (ISO)), including lindane (ISO, INN)
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 382485 when importing or exporting chemical products that contain 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), such as lindane. For example, if you're shipping a pesticide formulation that includes HCH, this is the appropriate code.
This code falls under the broader category of prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores and other chemical products. It specifically addresses mixtures and preparations that contain HCH, distinguishing them from similar products that do not.
If you're dealing with chemical preparations that do not contain HCH, you would look at other subheadings within HS-4 3824. For instance, HS-6 382490 covers other chemical mixtures that may not include HCH or similar compounds.
When classifying your product, ensure it meets the criteria for containing HCH. If your product is a mixture with other chemicals but lacks HCH, you will need to explore different HS-6 codes that better match your product's composition.
