HS code for Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate mixtures: 3824.83
Chemical products, mixtures and preparations, containing goods specified in Subheading Note 3 to this Chapter, containing tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate.
Classification of tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate mixtures under HS 3824.83
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).

Codes often confused with 3824.83
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS 382483 (the code used for tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate mixtures), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 382483 (the code used for tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate mixtures) in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 95% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Egypt, with 94% of world imports. Israel reports $970M of its heading 3824 exports without product detail (confidential), so it may also belong among the top exporters. The United Arab Emirates did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 100% of its exports here ($164K, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top exporters.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
