## How it is structured

2836.60 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 28, are the chapter; the first four, 2836, are heading 28.36; the last two, 60, 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 28.36: Carbonates; peroxocarbonates (percarbonates); commercial ammonium carbonate containing ammonium carbamate
- Subheading 2836.60: Barium carbonate

## In other countries

No national tariff lines under 2836.60 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 2836.60 at six digits and add their own digits after it.

- Previous subheading: [2836.50](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/283650) Calcium carbonate
- Next subheading: [2836.91](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/283691) Other: Lithium carbonates
