HS Code for Copper chloride hydroxide

Copper chloride hydroxide is classified under HS code 2827.41 within the category of inorganic chemicals. This specific code is designated for chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides of copper. The classification is driven by the chemical identity of the substance as a defined inorganic compound. In the context of the Harmonized System, Chapter 28 covers chemical elements and separate chemically defined compounds. Copper chloride hydroxide, often referred to as copper oxychloride, is a stable compound used extensively in industrial and agricultural applications. It is important to note that this classification applies to the chemical in its bulk, technical grade, or pure form. The compound is characterized by its green crystalline appearance and is insoluble in water. As a chloride hydroxide, it falls under the specific sub-group of halogen oxides and hydroxides of metals. Accurate classification requires a certificate of analysis to confirm the chemical structure and ensure it meets the criteria for Chapter 28.

Common Misclassification

Copper chloride hydroxide is sometimes misclassified under HS code 2827.39, which is the general category for other chlorides. However, because it is a chloride hydroxide, the more specific code 2827.41 takes precedence. Additionally, if the substance is formulated and packaged for retail sale as a fungicide, it may be misclassified here when it should actually be under HS code 3808.92.
