Customs clearance of Magnesium Peroxide in Iran (HS Codes + documents)
Magnesium Peroxide customs clearance in Iran
What is Magnesium Peroxide?
Magnesium Peroxide with the chemical formula MgO₂ is a widely used chemical and one of the most important oxides in various industries. It appears as a white to pale-yellow powder formed by reaction of oxygen with magnesium. Owing to its strong oxidizing properties, it has broad applications. As a metal peroxide, its specific molecular structure gives it distinctive features such as stability at elevated temperatures and the ability to oxidize organic and inorganic substances.

Immediate free consultation1) Structure and physical/chemical properties
Magnesium Peroxide belongs to the alkaline-earth oxides and is chemically quite stable. In its crystal lattice, positively charged magnesium ions sit alongside negatively charged peroxide ions. It is stable at low to moderate temperatures, but above 300 °C readily decomposes to magnesium oxide and oxygen. It features low density, moderate thermal expansion, good resistance to corrosives, and is moisture-sensitive—so dry storage is essential.
2) Specialized industrial applications
- Chemicals: Strong oxidant in organic/inorganic synthesis, making organic peroxides, oxidation steps, disinfectants; catalytic roles in certain reactions.
- Pharmaceuticals: Utilized for disinfecting/oxidation functions in formulations (sanitizing tablets and specific therapeutic compositions).
- Water/wastewater treatment: Oxidant for removing organic/inorganic contaminants, reducing heavy metals, and improving water quality.
- Agriculture: Soil amendment for acidic soils; used in fertilizers and for produce disinfection.
- Rubber & plastics: Vulcanizing/crosslinking agent to improve mechanical and thermal properties.
3) Production processes
Typically produced by a controlled reaction of magnesium and oxygen (exothermic → requires precise temperature/pressure control). A common approach is reacting high-purity magnesium powder with oxygen at low temperatures to obtain high-purity MgO₂ for industrial/pharma uses.
4) Importing and clearing MgO₂
Due to its broad use and safety/quality sensitivities, strict adherence to tariff, documentation, and standards procedures is mandatory.
5) Customs tariff / HS Code for Magnesium Peroxide
| Goods | Short description | HS Code |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium Peroxide (MgO₂) | Metal oxide/peroxide | 2816.20.00 |
This falls under “metal oxides and peroxides.” Final line may depend on grade/purity/form.
6) Operational considerations for clearance
- Document set: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, relevant permits (as applicable: food/drug/environment/standards) and, where needed, quality/purity lab reports.
- Standards compliance: Physical/chemical specs (purity, moisture, particle size) per national/international standards.
- Inspection/testing: Regulatory/lab checks to confirm absence of harmful impurities and compliance with health/environmental requirements.
- Safety in storage/transport: Suitable containers; cool, dry conditions; segregation from organics/combustibles; full GHS labeling and incompatibility management.
7) Clearance steps & technical notes (executive summary)
- Register the import in the national trade system with precise name, formula, grade, packaging, weight, and country of origin.
- Arrange FX (if needed) and plan transport according to hazard class/storage conditions.
- Complete the file: Invoice, Packing List, B/L, CO, MSDS and, where required, COA and related permits.
- Customs declaration with correct HS (2816.20.00), including safety labels and technical specs scans.
- Assessment, possible sampling, and payment of duties/levies/VAT based on CIF.
- Release and delivery; control humidity/temperature and brief the receiving team.
8) Import restrictions & regulations
Some countries restrict or condition MgO₂ imports for safety/environmental reasons. Iranian importers should obtain required permits and review origin/destination requirements.
9) Exporters and importers of MgO₂
Exporters: China, Germany, the United States, and Japan are among the largest producers/exporters of magnesium peroxide.
Importers: Iran (mainly from China, Germany, Turkey), as well as countries like India, Brazil, and Russia.
Key safety & compliance notes
- Avoid contact with organics/combustibles and moisture; keep cool/dry with proper ventilation.
- Provide an MSDS (localized) with the shipment; full GHS labeling (pictograms, H/P statements).
- For sensitive grades (food/pharma), a COA and compliance with applicable standards are mandatory.
