Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "38" represent Miscellaneous Chemicals.

Specifically, this chapter covers the following main contents:

• Various chemical elements and their compounds, including organic and inorganic compounds, but typically excluding chemicals used as fuels (e.g., coal, petroleum, etc.).
• Includes medicines, pesticides, dyes, pigments, explosives, photographic chemicals, surfactants, lubricants, waxes, sealants, water treatment chemicals, etc.
• Covers a wide range of chemical products for industrial and consumer use.

Why is it called "Miscellaneous Chemicals"?

The "38" chapter has a very broad scope because it includes many different types of chemical products, which differ greatly in chemical composition, use, and manufacturing methods. They are usually not natural products but are produced through chemical processing or synthesis.

In summary, the HS code "38" represents various chemical products produced through chemical processes, covering fields such as industry, agriculture, and medicine.

If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 3801.30.00), I can provide a more detailed classification explanation.

First four digits explanation: 3824 represents:

• Classification: Binders prepared for use in casting molds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or related industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products).
• Meaning: Includes adhesives used in the casting industry and other chemical products and preparations not clearly classified elsewhere, especially those composed of mixtures of natural products.

Six-digit explanation: HS code: 3824.30

Classification: Binders prepared for use in casting molds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or related industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products).

Specific meaning: Nonagglomerated metal carbides mixed together or with metallic binders.

8-10 digit explanation: hscode: 3824.30.00.00 Description: Prepared binders for foundry molds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included: --> Nonagglomerated metal carbides mixed together or with metallic binders Explanation: Prepared binders for foundry molds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included: --> Nonagglomerated metal carbides mixed together or with metallic binders.

Examples of products: * Foundry binder for mold making * Metal carbide powder for industrial applications * Composite materials containing metal carbides and metallic binders * Casting core materials with nonagglomerated metal carbides * Industrial chemical preparations based on natural product mixtures
