HS Code for Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate mixtures
Mixtures containing Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate are classified under HS code 3824.83. This classification is found within Chapter 38, which encompasses miscellaneous chemical products. Heading 3824 is a broad category for chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries that are not specified elsewhere. Subheading 3824.83 was established to capture preparations and mixtures that contain this specific hazardous flame retardant. Unlike the pure chemical (which falls under Chapter 29), these mixtures are typically formulated products ready for industrial use in plastics, textiles, or coatings. The inclusion of this specific subheading is part of a global effort to track the movement of substances regulated under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs).
Products Included
- Flame retardant preparations containing Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate
- Industrial mixtures for textile back-coating containing the substance
- Plastic additive masterbatches containing the chemical
Common Misclassification
This code is often confused with HS code 2919.10. The distinction lies in the composition: 2919.10 is for the pure, separate chemically defined compound, while 3824.83 is for mixtures or preparations. Another misclassification is 3824.99 (other chemical products), but 3824.83 must be used because it is more specific for mixtures containing this regulated substance.
