About HS Code 282690
This 'not elsewhere specified' (n.e.c.) category covers a diverse range of complex fluorine salts, including fluorosilicates, fluoroaluminates (other than sodium hexafluoroaluminate), and other fluorides not specifically classified elsewhere in heading 2826. These compounds are utilized in various specialized applications, such as fluxes in metallurgy, components in welding electrodes, wood preservatives, and in the production of specialty glass and ceramics. Examples include potassium fluorosilicate, magnesium fluorosilicate, and various complex fluoroaluminates. Importers and exporters are typically countries with advanced chemical industries and those requiring these specialized salts for niche manufacturing processes. Trade is driven by specific industrial demands for high-performance materials and chemical reagents, often involving smaller, specialized volumes compared to more common fluorides, reflecting their role in advanced and custom applications.
Products Under This Code
Potassium fluorosilicate, Magnesium fluorosilicate, Ammonium fluorosilicate, Sodium fluorosilicate, Potassium tetrafluoroborate, Ammonium hexafluorotitanate, Zinc fluorosilicate, Lead fluoroborate
Real World Examples
