What is NOT Classified Here?
This heading excludes compounds that do not fall under chlorides, bromides, or iodides or their oxides and hydroxides, such as:
- Other inorganic salts not combined with chlorine, bromine, or iodine.
- Organic halide compounds which are classified in other chapters.
- Complex mixed halogen compounds unless specifically listed under this heading.
Notes
- Usage: These compounds are widely used in industries including pharmaceuticals, agriculture (fertilizers and pesticides), water treatment, and chemical synthesis.
- Regulations: Import and export of these chemicals are subject to strict regulations due to their potential environmental and health impacts. Proper classification ensures compliance with customs and environmental laws.
- Tariff Rates: Duty rates differ by specific 10-digit code and country of origin. Some compounds may be subject to special trade agreements or restrictions.
