SITCSection 5
U.S. imports of chlorides, chloride oxides and hydroxides, n.e.s.; bromides and bromide oxides; iodides and iodide oxides (SITC 52329) totaled $28.6M in April 2026, traded with 34 countries.
Importers of Chlorides, Chloride Oxides and Hydroxides, N.E.S.; Bromides and Bromide Oxides; Iodides and Iodide Oxides paid $1.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 5.7% on $20.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Chlorides, Chloride Oxides and Hydroxides, N.E.S.; Bromides and Bromide Oxides; Iodides and Iodide Oxides imports of $28.6M in April 2026 ran 17% below the year-to-date monthly average of $34.6M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSpanning a broad family of halide salts not covered by more specific headings, this residual category includes compounds such as ferric chloride (used in printed circuit board etching and water treatment), bromine salts used in flame retardants and pharmaceutical synthesis, and iodide compounds critical to medical imaging contrast agents and specialty chemical production. The NES designation signals that classification here requires ruling out all named halide headings first — a step that can be non-trivial for complex or mixed-halide compounds. Bromine and iodine derivatives in particular may be subject to TSCA reporting and, depending on concentration and form, to DOT hazardous-materials transport requirements.

The NES heading applies only when the specific compound is not enumerated in a named heading for chlorides (such as ammonium chloride or calcium chloride) or bromides. For mixed-halide salts, the classification turns on the predominant halide or the compound's chemical identity. A binding ruling request to CBP, supported by a certificate of analysis and the compound's CAS number, is the most reliable way to resolve ambiguous cases.
Brominated compounds used as flame-retardant intermediates must be listed on the TSCA chemical inventory, and importers must provide the required TSCA certification at entry. Some brominated substances are also subject to EPA Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) or state-level restrictions (notably California's Proposition 65), so importers should review the regulatory status of the specific compound before contracting supply.
