Frequently asked questions
I produce inorganic acids and alkalis such as caustic soda — is that 20.13.00 or basic organic chemicals?
It's 20.13.00. Basic inorganic chemistry — chemical elements, inorganic acids excluding nitric acid, alkalis, caustic soda, and other inorganic compounds — belongs here. Organic chemistry with hydrocarbons and alcohols falls under 20.14.00. The dividing line is between inorganic and organic base compounds.
I produce nitric acid and ammonia — does that fall under 20.13.00 or fertilisers and nitrogenous compounds?
Usually not 20.13.00, because nitric acid is excluded from this code. Nitric acid, ammonia, and associated nitrogenous products belong to 20.15.00. You remain in 20.13.00 for other inorganic acids, alkalis, and generic inorganic compounds.
I produce elemental gases such as chlorine and oxygen — is that 20.13.00 or industrial gas manufacture?
Usually 20.11.00 if the product is a packaged industrial gas. Liquefied or compressed elemental gases, liquid air, and inert gases such as CO2 have their dedicated code at 20.11.00. Other elements and inorganic compounds that are not industrial gases remain in 20.13.00. The distinguishing factor is whether you sell a packaged gas.
I make inorganic mineral pigments in addition to acids and alkalis — does everything fall under 20.13.00?
Not for the pigments. Inorganic acids (excluding nitric acid), alkalis, and caustic soda remain in 20.13.00, but dyes and pigments — including inorganic ones — in basic or concentrated form are assigned to 20.12.00. The product's end use matters: generic inorganic compound here, pigment or dye there.
