Compliance regimes on this code
Beyond the duty rate, these EU regimes attach to this code. Each verdict follows from the code alone; the goods themselves can still fall outside a regime.
Indicative correlation only. The mapping from customs codes to dual-use control codes is guidance, not a classification. Whether an item is controlled depends on its technical parameters.

Notes that govern this classification
Erläuterungen zum Harmonisierten System (HS) Farberden auf der Grundlage von natürlichen Eisenoxiden mit einem Gehalt an gebundenem Eisen, berechnet als Fe2O3, von 70 GHT oder mehr gehören zu dieser Position. Um zu bestimmen, ob diese Grenze von 70 GHT erreicht ist, muss man den Gesamteisengehalt berücksichtigen, der als Ferrioxid zu berechnen ist. So verbleibt eine natürliche Farberde mit einem Fe2O3-Gehalt von 84 GHT (entsprechend 58,8 % an reinem Eisen) in dieser Position. Zu dieser Position gehören auch die nachstehend aufgeführten ungemischten künstlichen Oxide und Hydroxide. A. – Eisenoxide Eisenoxid (Eisen(III)-oxid, Ferrioxid) (Fe2O3) wird aus wasserfreiem Eisen (II)-sulfat oder aus natürlichem Eisenoxid gewonnen; es ist ein feines Pulver, das für gewöhnlich rot ist, aber manchmal violett, gelblich oder schwarz (violettes, gelbes oder schwarzes Eisenoxid) sein kann. …

Frequently asked questions
What does customs tariff code 2821.10.00 cover?
Code 2821.10.00 covers Iron oxides and hydroxides. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 2821.10.00?
The third-country duty rate for 2821.10.00 is 4.6 %. Goods originating in a country with a preferential agreement may qualify for a lower rate against valid proof of origin.
What is the HS code for 2821.10.00?
The first six digits form the HS code: 282110. Those are uniform worldwide, while the further digits carry the EU Combined Nomenclature and the national subdivision.
How many digits does 2821.10.00 have?
2821.10.00 has eight digits and matches the EU Combined Nomenclature. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.
Where does 2821.10.00 sit in the tariff?
2821.10.00 sits in this hierarchy: 28 INORGANIC CHEMICALS; ORGANIC OR INORGANIC COMPOUNDS OF PRECIOUS METALS, OF RARE-EARTH METALS, OF RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS OR OF ISOTOPES > 2821 Iron oxides and hydroxides; earth colours containing 70 % or more by weight of combined iron evaluated as Fe@2O@3 > 282110 Iron oxides and hydroxides. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.
Is there binding tariff information for 2821.10.00?
Yes. The EBTI database holds decisions on 2821.10.00, for example SIBTI2025/0043. A BTI shows which product characteristics the customs authority relied on.
What happens if the customs tariff code is wrong?
An incorrect code leads to post-clearance recovery of duty and import VAT, delays at clearance, and a penalty where it repeats. A classification with documented reasoning can be defended in an audit.
Is 2821.10.00 a dual-use item?
The customs code alone does not decide that. An indicative correlation links 2821.10.00 to 1C101, 0008. Whether your item is listed depends on its technical parameters and has to be checked against the wording of the control list.
Does customs tariff code 2821.10.00 change?
2821.10.00 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
