HTS US: 2820.XX.XXXX
Description
This heading encompasses manganese oxides, which are inorganic compounds widely used in industrial processes, including battery manufacture, pigments, and chemical catalysts.
- Manganese Dioxide (2820.10.00.00): A common form of manganese oxide used extensively in dry-cell batteries, as a pigment, and as an oxidizing agent in chemical reactions.
- Other Manganese Oxides (2820.90.00.00): This category includes all other manganese oxide compounds not classified under manganese dioxide, serving various industrial and chemical functions.
Code Hierarchy
- Section VI: Products of the Chemical or Allied Industries (Chapters 28-38)
- Chapter 28: Inorganic Chemicals; Organic or Inorganic Compounds of Precious Metals, of Rare-Earth Metals, of Radioactive Elements or of Isotopes
- Heading 2820: Manganese oxides
- US HTS Code (10-digit):
2820.XX.XXXX– The last digits specify the precise manganese oxide compound.
Detailed Breakdown of Subheadings
The 4-digit HS heading 2820 is subdivided into specific 10-digit codes defining the type of manganese oxide:
| HS/HTS Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 2820.10.00.00 | Manganese dioxide |
| 2820.90.00.00 | Other manganese oxides |
What is NOT Classified Here?
To prevent misclassification, note the following exclusions:
- Manganese metal: Metallic manganese is classified separately under Chapter 81.
- Manganese ores and concentrates: These are classified under Chapter 26.
- Other chemical compounds containing manganese but not oxides: These fall under different headings depending on their chemical nature.
Notes
- Industrial Use: Manganese dioxide is crucial in the production of alkaline batteries, pigments, and as an oxidizer in organic synthesis.
- Import Regulations: Importers should consult relevant environmental and safety regulations, as manganese compounds can be subject to special handling and restrictions depending on the country.
- Duty Rates: Duty rates for manganese oxides vary based on purity and intended use; consult the latest USHTS for exact tariff information.
