HS Code for Aluminum sulphate

HS code 283322 is specifically designated for sulphates of aluminium. This classification falls under Chapter 28 of the Harmonized System, which covers inorganic chemicals. Aluminium sulphate is a distinct chemical compound, typically appearing as a white crystalline solid or in solution, and is widely used in various industrial applications. The code precisely identifies this specific salt, distinguishing it from other aluminium compounds or general chemical mixtures. Its classification here reflects its identity as a pure inorganic chemical compound.

Products Included

• Aluminium sulphate (anhydrous or hydrated)
• Aluminium potassium sulphate (potash alum)
• Aluminium ammonium sulphate (ammonium alum)
• Solutions of aluminium sulphate for industrial use

Common Misclassification

Aluminum sulphate (283322) can sometimes be confused with other aluminium compounds, such as aluminium hydroxide (281800) or aluminium oxide (281800), or with general chemical preparations. The key distinction is the specific chemical composition: 283322 is exclusively for the sulphate salt of aluminium. Aluminium hydroxide and oxide are different chemical compounds, despite containing aluminium. Furthermore, 283322 is for a distinct chemical compound, not a mixture or preparation that might fall under broader residual categories like 382499 (Other chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, n.e.c.), which is reserved for products without a more specific chemical classification.
