HS Code 2847.00 – Hydrogen peroxide; whether or not solidified with urea
HS code 2847.00 is the 6-digit subheading for hydrogen peroxide, whether or not solidified with urea. It is used for hydrogen peroxide solution (35%), hydrogen peroxide solution (50%), peracetic acid, urea hydrogen peroxide adduct and stabilized hydrogen peroxide.
What HS 2847.00 covers
Hydrogen peroxide, whether or not solidified with urea, falls under this HS code. This versatile chemical is a powerful oxidizing agent with widespread industrial applications, making its trade a significant component of the global chemical market. It is extensively used in the pulp and paper industry for bleaching, in textile processing, as a disinfectant and antiseptic in healthcare, and in environmental applications for water treatment. Furthermore, it serves as a crucial reagent in chemical synthesis for producing other organic and inorganic compounds. Importers typically include countries with large manufacturing bases in these sectors, while exporters are major chemical producers. The concentration and stability of hydrogen peroxide are key factors influencing its trade and handling, requiring specialized transportation and storage due to its reactive nature.

Codes often confused with 2847.00
Common mistake. It can be confused with other peroxides or oxygen-releasing compounds under 2816 (magnesium peroxides) or 2825 (other inorganic bases), but 284700 is specific to hydrogen peroxide.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 284700, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 284700 in UN Comtrade data was Belgium, with 15% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 8.5% of world imports. The United Kingdom reports $2.7B of its chapter 28 imports without product detail (confidential), so it may also belong among the top importers.

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).
