HS-6 · Subheading
382491
Chemical products, mixtures and preparations; consisting mainly of (5-ethyl-2-methyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-5-yl)methyl methyl methylphosphonate and bis[(5-ethyl-2-methyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-5-yl)methyl] methylphosphonate
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 382491 when importing or exporting chemical products that primarily consist of specific phosphonate compounds, such as (5-ethyl-2-methyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-5-yl)methyl methyl methylphosphonate. For example, this code applies to shipments of specialized chemical mixtures used in industrial applications.
This HS-6 line falls under the broader HS-4 3824 heading, which covers prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores. If you're dealing with chemical preparations that do not fit neatly into other categories, this is the right classification.
In contrast, HS-6 382492 includes different chemical preparations that may not primarily consist of the same phosphonate compounds. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate customs declarations and compliance.
When dealing with chemical mixtures, it's important to ensure that your product descriptions accurately reflect the contents. For instance, if your product is a blend of phosphonates and other chemicals, you may need to consider other HS codes.
