HSN Code Details
Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless gas that occupies the lowest position in the periodic table, and it is distinguished from related HSN codes such as 28041001, which covers hydrogen in liquid form. This code specifically refers to hydrogen in its gaseous state, typically supplied in high‑purity cylinders.
Shipping hydrogen gas requires specialized high‑pressure cylinders that meet ISO 11119 standards, and documentation must include a pressure test certificate and a declaration of purity; the cylinders are usually transported in temperature‑controlled containers to prevent pressure fluctuations.
