Customs Clearance of Oxygenated Compounds in Iran (HS Codes + Documents & Permits)
Oxygenated compounds are strategic, widely used materials across chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and environmental industries. This family includes peroxides, metal oxides, and other oxygen-containing compounds which due to specific properties and safety/regulatory sensitivities require specialized knowledge and experience for import and clearance. In this guide, we review the clearance process, key tips, HS Codes, and the dedicated services of Saba Brokerage.

Instant & Free Consultation1) Detailed Description of Oxygenated Compounds & Clearance Features
In the customs declaration, it is mandatory to state the exact chemical/trade name, formula, grade (industrial/food/pharmaceutical/technical), form (solid/liquid/gas), packaging (drum/bag/IBC/tank), net/gross weight, country of origin/brand, and provide the MSDS and, where required, the COA. Labeling in compliance with GHS and adherence to dangerous goods transport regulations (IMDG/ADR) are prerequisites.
- Use packaging that is resistant and compatible with the substance (corrosive/oxidizer/reactive) and prevents leakage.
- Ensure document consistency (Invoice, Packing List, B/L, CO, MSDS, COA) with the purchase registration and customs declaration.
- Segregate from incompatible materials; provide proper ventilation and control temperature/humidity during storage/transport.
2) Oxygenated Compounds & Industrial Applications
- Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂): Strong oxidizer in chemistry, disinfectant, and bleaching agent. HS Code: 2847.00
- Metal Oxides: Iron oxide (2821.10), aluminum oxide (2818.20), zinc oxide (2817.00); used in paints, ceramics, electronics.
- Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂): Widely used white pigment in paints/coatings, cosmetics, and even food. HS Code: 2823.00
- Ozone (O₃): Oxidizer/disinfectant for water and air treatment. HS Code: 2811.19
- Calcium, lead, and magnesium oxides: Cement, batteries, refractories, and metallurgical/construction industries.
3) Clearance Process & Common HS Codes
| Goods/Compound | Brief Use | HS Code |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) | Oxidizer/disinfectant/bleaching | 2847.00 |
| Iron Oxide (Fe₂O₃/Fe₃O₄) | Pigment/ceramic/catalyst | 2821.10 |
| Aluminum Oxide (Al₂O₃) | Ceramics/abrasive/adsorbent | 2818.20 |
| Zinc Oxide (ZnO) | Paint/rubber/pharma/cosmetics | 2817.00 |
| Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) | White pigment/coatings/cosmetics | 2823.00 |
| Ozone (O₃) | Water/air treatment, disinfection | 2811.19 |
| Magnesium Oxide (MgO) | Refractories/chemical industries | 2519.90 |
| Lead Oxide (PbO) | Batteries/lead glass | 2824.10 |
| Calcium Oxide (CaO) | Quicklime/cement/neutralization | 2522.10 |
| Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) | Pulp & paper/food preservative | 2811.23 |
| Manganese Dioxide (MnO₂) | Dry cells/catalyst | 2820.10 |
| Cobalt Oxides | Electronics/catalysts | 2822.00 |
Exact classification can depend on form, purity, end-use grade, packaging type, and industrial application.
4) Permits, Packaging/Transport & Order Registration
- Permits: From the Department of Environment, Ministry of Health, and the National Standards Organization (as applicable).
- Packaging/Transport: Specialized, compatible packaging; controlled transport per IMDG/ADR standards; GHS hazard labels and pictograms.
- FX rules & order registration: Accurate registration in relevant systems to avoid delays/issues in clearance.
5) Iran’s Imports/Exports & Destinations
Imports: Mainly from Europe, China, and the United States; key exporters to Iran: Germany, the Netherlands, and China. Frequent items: hydrogen peroxide, carbon dioxide, and liquid oxygen.
Exports: Iran participates in regional markets (Iraq, Türkiye, Afghanistan) with certain items such as liquid oxygen and carbon dioxide, mostly as compressed/liquid gases in limited quantities.
6) Trade Volume & Import Duties
The global turnover of oxygenated compounds is estimated at around $3 billion and is growing. In Iran, annual imports are reported at about 10 to 15 thousand tons (market-dependent); annual exports are around 5 to 8 thousand tons. Import duty and VAT are calculated based on CIF.
7) Required Documents for Clearance
- Order registration and, if applicable, FX allocation.
- Invoice, B/L, Packing List, Certificate of Origin (CO).
- MSDS and, where required, COA; hazard labels per GHS.
- Standard/health/environmental certificates (as applicable) and insurance documents; payment of VAT.

Request a ProformaKey Tips & Practical Recommendations
- For strong oxidizers (such as H₂O₂/ozone), fully manage contact with organic/flammable materials.
- For moisture-sensitive oxides, control humidity and use impermeable packaging.
- Select the HS based on purity/grade/packaging; discrepancies in declaration cause delays and fines.
- Localize MSDS and GHS labels into Persian and submit with the shipment.
