HS Code 2814
Ammonia (Anhydrous or Aqueous)
HS code 2814 is for anhydrous or aqueous ammonia, used globally for industrial refrigeration, fertiliser production, and professional cleaning applications.
HS Code 2814 — Ammonia (Anhydrous or Aqueous)
This code covers ammonia in its pure liquefied form (anhydrous) or dissolved in water (aqueous solution). It is a fundamental chemical feedstock widely used for refrigeration, water treatment, and as a precursor for fertilisers and cleaning products.
What's included
- Liquefied anhydrous ammonia
- Ammonia in aqueous solution (ammonium hydroxide)
- Refrigerant grade ammonia
What's excluded
- Ammonium chloride → use
2827(Ammonia salts are classified based on their specific anion.)
Common examples
- Liquefied anhydrous ammonia gas
- 25% Ammonium hydroxide solution
- Ultra-pure ammonia for semiconductors
Frequently asked questions
Can ammonia be shipped in standard containers?
Anhydrous ammonia must be shipped in pressurised ISO tanks, while aqueous ammonia requires chemical-resistant IBCs or drums.
