Alternative Classifications

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

2846.90.80Lower: 3.7% vs 29.2%

If doped with rare-earth elements

Compound salts or complexes of barium with rare-earths for phosphors fall under 2846.

3206.50.00.00Higher: 41.5% vs 29.2%

If used as inorganic luminophore

Chapter 28 excludes luminophores; barium chloride in fluorescent pigments goes to 3206.

3824Lower: 15% vs 29.2%

If prepared for laboratory analysis

High-purity forms put up in retail packs for lab use are classified as chemical preparations in 3824.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit third-party assay certificates proving >99.9% purity to avoid reclassification as commercial grade

Register under TSCA Premanufacture Notice if annual import exceeds 10,000 lbs for new uses

Use moisture-proof packaging to prevent hydration during ocean transit, which could alter classification

Barium Chloride Dihydrate

Barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl2·2H2O) is a white crystalline inorganic compound used in chemical synthesis, water treatment, and as a heat-treating salt. It falls under HTS 2827.39.45.00 as a chemically defined chloride of barium, specifically classified among other barium chlorides excluding certain commercial forms.

Barium Chloride Anhydrous

Anhydrous barium chloride (BaCl2) is a hygroscopic white powder employed in pyrotechnics, pigment production, and metal refining. Classified under HTS 2827.39.45.00 as 'other chlorides of barium,' it represents pure, chemically defined forms beyond commercial grades.

Barium Chloride Laboratory Reagent

ACS-grade barium chloride reagent is supplied in small bottles for analytical chemistry and precipitation tests. Under HTS 2827.39.45.00, it is classified as other barium chlorides when not qualifying as a retail preparation.

Technical Grade Barium Chloride

Technical grade barium chloride crystals serve in industrial water softening and as a mordant in textile dyeing. HTS 2827.39.45.00 covers this as a chemically defined barium chloride of other types.

Barium Chlorate

Barium chlorate (Ba(ClO3)2) is an oxidizer used in pyrotechnics and herbicides, though technically a chlorate, sometimes traded under chloride oxide provisions. It fits HTS 2827.39.45.00 when interpreted as barium chloride oxide derivative per heading scope.
