HS code · 6-digit subheading
HS Code 3824.84 – Chemical products, mixtures and preparations; containing aldrin, camphechlor (toxaphene), chlordane, chlordecone, DDT (chlorfenotane, 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane), dieldrin, endosulfan, endrin, heptachlor or mirex
HS code 3824.84 is the 6-digit subheading for chemical products, mixtures and preparations, containing aldrin, camphechlor (toxaphene), chlordane, chlordecone, DDT (chlorfenotane, 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane), dieldrin, endosulfan, endrin, heptachlor or mirex. It is used for DDT-containing pesticide formulations (for disposal), chlordane-contaminated soil treatment agents (for remediation), analytical standards of POPs, endosulfan mixtures (for destruction) and aldrin-containing waste.
What HS 3824.84 covers
This HS code covers chemical products, mixtures, and preparations containing a specific list of highly hazardous pesticides and Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), including aldrin, DDT, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, and mirex, as specified in Subheading Note 3 to Chapter 38. These substances are globally banned or severely restricted under the Stockholm Convention due to their extreme toxicity, environmental persistence, and bioaccumulation. Therefore, international trade is almost exclusively limited to their destruction, remediation of contaminated sites, or very specific, highly controlled research and analytical purposes. Importers and exporters are specialized hazardous waste disposal companies, environmental remediation firms, and accredited analytical laboratories, primarily in countries adhering to international environmental conventions and possessing advanced waste treatment capabilities.

Codes often confused with 3824.84
Common mistake. These are mixtures, not the pure chemicals (which fall under Chapter 29, e.g., 2903.69 for DDT) or articles treated with them. The 'mixture' aspect is paramount for correct classification.

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).
