About HS Code 282749

This category encompasses chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides of metals other than copper, representing a niche but important segment of inorganic chemical trade. These compounds are typically specialized, finding applications in various industrial processes, such as catalysts, pigments, flame retardants, or precursors for other inorganic materials. Importers are often countries with advanced manufacturing capabilities, specialized chemical industries, or research and development sectors. Examples include compounds of bismuth, tin, or antimony. Key considerations for trade involve the specific chemical properties of each compound, their purity requirements for particular applications, and safe handling procedures due to potential toxicity or reactivity. The market for these "other" chloride oxides and hydroxides is highly specialized, driven by specific industrial demands rather than broad commodity use.

Products Under This Code

Bismuth oxychloride, Tin oxychloride, Antimony oxychloride, Zirconium oxychloride, Pigment for cosmetics, Flame retardant additive, Catalyst component, Chemical intermediate

Real World Examples

BASF Bismuth Oxychloride, Sigma-Aldrich Zirconium Oxychloride, Merck KGaA Antimony Oxychloride, Croda Bismuth Oxychloride

Common Misclassification

This code might be confused with pure metallic chlorides (e.g., 282739 for various chlorides) or other metallic oxides/hydroxides (e.g., 2825 for other oxides), but 282749 is specific to the combined chloride oxide/hydroxide forms excluding copper.

Industry

This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.

Trade Overview

Trade is globally distributed, with specialized chemical producers and consumers in Europe, North America, and Asia being key players.
