U.S. imports of chlorides (not elsewhere specified) (HS 282739) totaled $14.0M in April 2026, traded with 20 countries.
Importers of Chlorides (Not Elsewhere Specified) paid $561K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 4.8% on $11.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataThis heading captures a chemically diverse group of metal chlorides not given their own six-digit subheading, including vanadium (2827391000), tin (2827392500), titanium (2827393000), tungsten (2827394000), barium (2827394500), iron (2827395500), cobalt (2827396000), zinc (2827396500), lithium (2827399010), and other residual chlorides (2827399050, 2827399150). Each line serves distinct industrial niches—titanium chloride in CVD coating processes, cobalt chloride as a moisture indicator and catalyst, lithium chloride in desiccant and battery applications. Canada and Germany lead US imports across this heading, though the supplier mix varies considerably by specific chloride. Correct 10-digit classification is essential because several lines carry different duty rates and Section 301 exposure depending on origin.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Each metal chloride in a mixed shipment must be classified individually by its specific cation—vanadium, tin, titanium, tungsten, barium, iron, cobalt, zinc, or lithium each has a dedicated 10-digit line under 282739. Only chlorides of metals not specifically named fall to the residual lines (2827399050 or 2827399150). Mixed shipments should be invoiced with separate line items by chemical identity to avoid CBP queries and potential misclassification penalties. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for novel or ambiguous compounds.
Lithium chloride (2827399010) is not currently subject to a standalone trade-remedy order, but its strategic importance as a lithium compound means importers should monitor Section 301 developments for Chinese-origin material and any future critical-minerals policy actions. Canada is among the leading suppliers for this heading overall, and Canadian-origin lithium chloride qualifying under USMCA may be eligible for preferential treatment—importers should verify origin documentation carefully.
