Product classification
HS code for Pesticide mixtures: 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.
Classification of pesticide mixtures under HS 3824.84
Pesticide mixtures containing specific hazardous substances like aldrin, chlordane, or DDT are classified under HS code 382484. This classification is part of Chapter 38, which encompasses miscellaneous chemical products. Specifically, heading 3824 covers prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores and chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries not elsewhere specified. Subheading 382484 was established to monitor and control the trade of mixtures containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) as defined by the Stockholm Convention. Classification here is driven by the chemical composition of the mixture rather than its intended use for retail. If a mixture contains any of the specified substances—such as mirex, heptachlor, or endosulfan—it is pulled into this specific subheading to ensure environmental and safety compliance during cross-border movement.
- Covers
- Chemical mixtures containing aldrin or camphechlor

- Veolia Environmental Services (POPs destruction)
- SGS (analytical standards for POPs)
Codes often confused with 3824.84
Common mistake. A common error is classifying these mixtures under HS code 380891 (insecticides) or 380892 (fungicides). While 3808 covers pesticides put up for retail sale, 382484 takes precedence when the mixture contains the specific hazardous chemicals listed in the subheading note, regardless of the packaging. Another misclassification occurs with 2903, which covers pure halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons; however, 382484 is used once those chemicals are part of a multi-component mixture or preparation.
Top exporters and importers of HS 382484 (the code used for pesticide mixtures), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 382484 (the code used for pesticide mixtures) in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 50% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Belgium, with 20% of world imports.

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).

Pesticide mixtures containing specific regulated substances like aldrin or DDT are classified under HS code 382484.
How do I classify Pesticide mixtures for customs?
Pesticide mixtures is classified under HS code 382484 — 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.
