Vanadyl Sulfate VOSO4
Vanadyl sulfate (VOSO4) is a blue crystalline compound used as a reducing agent in analytical chemistry and as an electrolyte precursor in vanadium redox flow batteries. Although formally a salt, its vanadium oxide/hydroxide character supports classification under tariff item 2825.30.00.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as a sulfate salt of vanadium
If the CBSA considers vanadyl sulfate a true salt of vanadic acid, heading 28.41 may apply instead.
If the sulfate group is considered the primary functional group
Other sulfates of metals fall under heading 28.33, though this is unlikely given the vanadium oxide character.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Be prepared to demonstrate that the vanadium-oxygen bond is the essential feature, as salts are normally excluded from Chapter 28 unless they are vanadium oxides/hydroxides
• Provide a technical data sheet to the CBSA
• Check if the product is subject to any controlled substances regulations if used in battery applications
