U.S. imports of bromides and bromide oxides (nesoi) (HS 282759) totaled $203K in April 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Importers of Bromides and Bromide Oxides (NESOI) paid $13K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 6.6% on $203K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Bromides and Bromide Oxides (NESOI) imports of $203K in April 2026 ran 92% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.6M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBeyond sodium and potassium bromides, this heading captures the broader universe of bromide salts and bromide oxides — including ammonium, calcium, and zinc bromides (2827592500) — used in flame retardants, drilling fluids, and specialty chemical manufacturing. Israel and the United Kingdom are the top US suppliers, with India and China also contributing meaningfully to import volumes. The US schedule's separation of ammonium, calcium, and zinc bromides into a dedicated line (2827592500) from the general NESOI line (2827595100) requires careful product-level classification to avoid misclassification penalties.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Line 2827592500 specifically covers bromides and bromide oxides of ammonium, calcium, and zinc, while 2827595100 is the residual NESOI line for all other bromides and bromide oxides not covered elsewhere in the heading. Shippers must identify the specific metal or cation to determine the correct 10-digit line.
Zinc bromide is a high-density, clear brine widely used as a completion and workover fluid in oil and gas well operations. Its high specific gravity makes it effective for controlling wellbore pressure without solids, and it is also used in certain battery electrolyte and specialty chemical applications.
