Strontium Bicarbonate Solution (as Carbonate)
Strontium bicarbonate solution, presented as a carbonate equivalent, is not a stable solid but a solution of strontium bicarbonate. Since it is a solution of a strontium compound in water, it may fall under tariff item 2836.92.00 if it meets the criteria of Chapter 28 Note 1(b) for aqueous solutions of chemically defined compounds.
