This HS classification covers potassium hydroxide (caustic potash), a chemical used in various industrial processes. The duty breakdown includes an MFN rate of 5.00%, VAT at 12% (applied on 11/12 of the taxable base), and PPH rates of 2.50% for API and 7.50% for NON-API. Importers should check for any necessary permits, particularly for agricultural applications. With an MFN rate above 0%, Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) may be applicable. Commercial imports require a licensed consignee (Importer of Record).
