Alternative Classifications

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

2825.50.10.00Higher: 39.3% vs 28.9%

If primarily copper oxide rather than hydroxide

Copper oxides fall under the separate subheading 2825.50.10 within the same copper oxides and hydroxides heading, based on chemical composition.

2833.25.00.00Lower: 26.4% vs 28.9%

If prepared as copper sulfate instead

Copper sulfate, a metal salt, is classified under heading 2833 for copper salts, not hydroxides, per Chapter notes limiting 2825 to oxides and hydroxides.

3808.94.50Higher: 30% vs 28.9%

If formulated as a ready-to-use fungicide

Pesticides containing copper hydroxide as active ingredient are classified in Chapter 38 for disinfectants, not pure chemical compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify purity and chemical definition per Chapter 28 Note 1 to ensure classification as copper hydroxide, not oxide

β€’ Provide lab analysis certificates for customs to distinguish from organic complexes

β€’ Watch for contamination that could shift to heading 2842 for complex salts
