HS code for Copper chloride hydroxide: 2827.41
Chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides, of copper.
Classification of copper chloride hydroxide under HS 2827.41
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.

Codes often confused with 2827.41
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS 282741 (the code used for copper chloride hydroxide), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 282741 (the code used for copper chloride hydroxide) in UN Comtrade data was India, with 29% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 21% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
