HS Code for Copper chloride oxide

Copper chloride oxide, also known as copper oxychloride, is classified under HS code 2827.41. This classification falls within Chapter 28, which covers inorganic chemicals and precious metal compounds. Specifically, heading 2827 covers chlorides, chloride oxides, and chloride hydroxides. The classification is determined by the chemical composition of the substance; as a compound consisting of copper, chlorine, and oxygen (or hydroxyl groups), it fits the definition of a chloride oxide. This product is distinct from simple copper chlorides because of the presence of the oxide or hydroxide component. It is widely used in industrial applications and as a precursor in the chemical industry, though its most common commercial application is as a fungicide in agriculture.

Products Included

• Copper oxychloride
• Copper chloride hydroxide
• Dicopper chloride trihydroxide
• Basic copper chloride
• Technical grade copper chloride oxide

Common Misclassification

Copper chloride oxide is often misclassified under 2827.39, which is the general category for "other chlorides." However, because it is specifically a chloride oxide, 2827.41 takes precedence. Another frequent error is classifying the product under 3808.92 as a fungicide. While it is used as a fungicide, Chapter 28 takes priority for separate chemically defined compounds unless they are put up in forms or packings for retail sale as disinfectants or similar products.
