Phosphinates (hypophosphites), phosphonates (phosphites), and phosphates; and polyphosphates, whether or not chemically defined
6-digit subheadings (8)
Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.
Phosphinates (hypophosphites) and phosphonates (phosphites), whether or not chemically defined
Phosphates; of mono- or disodium, whether or not chemically defined
Phosphates; of potassium, whether or not chemically defined
Phosphates; calcium hydrogenorthophosphate (dicalcium phosphate), whether or not chemically defined
Phosphates; of calcium n.e.c. in item no. 2835.25, whether or not chemically defined
Phosphates; (other than of mono- or disodium, other than of potassium or of calcium hydrogenorthophosphate (dicalcium phosphate) and excluding other phosphates of calcium), whether or not chemically defined
Polyphosphates; sodium triphosphate (sodium tripolyphosphate), whether or not chemically defined
Polyphosphates; other than sodium triphosphate (sodium tripolyphosphate), whether or not chemically defined
Chapter 28 classification notes
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Pharmaceutical-grade vs. industrial-grade chemistry — same molecule, different chapter (Chapter 30 vs. 28).
Classification certainty
The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
