HS-6 · Subheading
382488
Chemical products, mixtures and preparations; containing goods specified in Subheading Note 3 to this Chapter; containing tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta- or octabromodiphenyl ethers
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 382488 when importing or exporting chemical products that contain specific bromodiphenyl ethers, particularly in foundry applications. For example, a shipment of a chemical binder used in metal casting that includes octabromodiphenyl ethers would fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 3824XX, which covers other prepared binders without the specified brominated compounds. If your product does not contain these specific chemicals, you may need to look at a different classification for your chemical preparations.
The 382488 line specifically addresses chemical mixtures and preparations that include tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta-, or octabromodiphenyl ethers, which are often used for their flame-retardant properties in industrial applications.
When classifying your products, ensure that they meet the criteria outlined in Subheading Note 3 of this chapter. This will help you avoid potential customs issues or misclassifications.
