## How it is structured

2812.13 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 28, are the chapter; the first four, 2812, are heading 28.12; the last two, 13, identify the subheading within the heading.

Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.

- Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals; organic or inorganic compounds of precious metals, of rare-earth metals, of radioactive elements or of isotopes
- Heading 28.12: Halides and halide oxides of non-metals
- Within the heading: Chlorides and chloride oxides
- Subheading 2812.13: Phosphorus trichloride

## In other countries

No national tariff lines under 2812.13 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 2812.13 at six digits and add their own digits after it.

- Previous subheading: [2812.12](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/281212) Chlorides and chloride oxides: Phosphorus oxychloride
- Next subheading: [2812.14](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/281214) Chlorides and chloride oxides: Phosphorus pentachloride
