HS Code 2827.41 – Chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides; of copper
HS code 2827.41 is the 6-digit subheading for chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides, of copper. It is used for copper oxychloride, basic copper chloride, copper hydroxide chloride, fungicide and bactericide.
What HS 2827.41 covers
This specific HS code covers copper chloride oxides and copper chloride hydroxides, which are inorganic compounds primarily traded for their applications as fungicides and bactericides in agriculture, particularly in crop protection. Countries with large agricultural sectors, especially those cultivating fruits, vegetables, and vines, are significant importers of these compounds to protect against various plant diseases. They also find use as pigments in paints and ceramics due to their distinctive green or blue coloration. Key aspects of their trade include the various formulations available (e.g., wettable powders, suspensions) and the importance of regulatory approvals for their use in agricultural applications. Environmental considerations regarding copper-based pesticides also play a role in their global movement. Demand is seasonal, tied to planting and growing cycles, and influenced by disease outbreaks.

Codes often confused with 2827.41
Common mistake. This code can be confused with other copper compounds used in agriculture, such as copper sulfate (283325) or even pure copper chlorides (e.g., copper(II) chloride under 282739), but 282741 is specific to the oxide/hydroxide forms.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 282741, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 282741 in UN Comtrade data was India, with 29% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 21% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
