About HS Code 284169
This HS code covers a diverse group of manganite, manganate, and permanganate salts, excluding the highly specific potassium permanganate. These compounds are traded for their various applications, primarily as oxidizing agents, catalysts, and pigments in specialized industrial processes. They find use in chemical synthesis, battery manufacturing, and as components in certain dyes and coatings. Major importers include countries with advanced chemical industries and specialized manufacturing sectors, such as Germany, Japan, and South Korea, where these salts are critical inputs for high-tech applications. Exporters are typically chemical companies specializing in manganese chemistry, often located in regions with access to manganese resources or sophisticated chemical processing capabilities. Trade considerations include the specific oxidation state of manganese, purity requirements, and adherence to safety and environmental regulations, given the potential toxicity of some manganese compounds.
Products Under This Code
Sodium manganate, Barium manganate, Calcium manganate, Manganese dioxide (as a salt precursor), Lithium manganate, Zinc manganate, Permanganate salts (other than potassium)
Real World Examples
Sigma-Aldrich Sodium Manganate, BASF Catalysts (containing manganese compounds), Umicore Battery Materials (lithium manganate)
Common Misclassification
This code is distinct from 284161 (Potassium permanganate); misclassification might occur if the specific manganese salt is not clearly identified, or with 2820 (Manganese oxides) if the product is an oxide rather than a salt.
Products Classified Under 2841.69
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Germany, Japan, and South Korea are key importers, with exports from specialized chemical manufacturers worldwide.
