Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2815Lower: 13.7% vs 28.1%

If sodium or potassium hydroxide/peroxide impurity present

Hydroxides/peroxides of other metals fall under 2815; minimal impurities can shift classification.

2847.00.00.00Higher: 38.7% vs 28.1%

If solidified with urea as stabilizer

Chapter note explicitly places urea-solidified hydrogen peroxide in 2847, analogous for blends.

3105.20.00.00Lower: 25% vs 28.1%

If marketed as fertilizer additive

Mineral/chemical fertilizers containing magnesium peroxides excluded to Chapter 31.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include stability test data; peroxides are oxidizers requiring UN proper shipping names

Avoid generic 'peroxide' labeling—specify magnesium to prevent confusion with 2847
