## What this code covers

HS code 3818.00 covers chemical elements doped for use in electronics, in the form of discs, wafers or similar forms; chemical compounds doped for use in electronics.

The legal text of the subheading is “Chemical elements doped for use in electronics, in the form of discs, wafers or similar forms; chemical compounds doped for use in electronics”, in HS2022.

## What it doesn’t cover

It is the only subheading of heading 38.18, so every good of the heading is classified here.

## How it is structured

3818.00 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 38, are the chapter; the first four, 3818, are heading 38.18; the last two, 00, identify the subheading within the heading.

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

- Chapter 38: Miscellaneous chemical products
- Heading 38.18: Chemical elements doped for use in electronics, in the form of discs, wafers or similar forms; chemical compounds doped for use in electronics
- Subheading 3818.00: Chemical elements doped for use in electronics, in the form of discs, wafers or similar forms; chemical compounds doped for use in electronics

## In other countries
