About HS Code 283529
This broad "other" category for phosphates encompasses a wide array of inorganic phosphate compounds, excluding specific sodium, potassium, and calcium phosphates already covered in more precise classifications (like 2835.22, 2835.24, 2835.25, 2835.26). These "other" phosphates find applications across various industrial sectors, including detergents, water treatment, metal surface treatment, and specialized ceramic production. Countries with advanced manufacturing industries and a need for diverse chemical inputs are primary importers. Exporters typically possess sophisticated chemical production facilities capable of synthesizing these specialized compounds. Understanding the specific chemical composition and intended end-use is paramount for accurate classification and trade, as this residual category captures many niche but critical phosphate derivatives. The trade in these phosphates reflects the complexity and specialization of modern industrial chemistry.
Products Under This Code
Aluminum phosphate, Magnesium phosphate, Zinc phosphate, Ferric phosphate, Ammonium phosphate (other than diammonium/monoammonium), Lithium phosphate
Real World Examples
BASF (industrial chemicals), Lanxess (water treatment), Solvay (specialty phosphates), Chemetall (surface treatment)
Common Misclassification
Misclassification often occurs with more specific phosphate codes like 283522 (mono- or disodium phosphates) or 283524 (potassium phosphates) if the exact cation is not clearly identified, or with 283526 if it's a calcium phosphate not specifically listed elsewhere.
Products Classified Under 2835.29
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Major importers are industrialized nations like Germany, Japan, and the USA, while key exporters include China, the USA, and European chemical producers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is HS code 283529?
HS code 283529 covers: Phosphates; (other than of mono- or disodium, other than of potassium or of calcium hydrogenorthophosphate (dicalcium phosphate) and excluding other phosphates of calcium), whether or not chemically defined.
