Sodium Amalgam Granules from Japan
Sodium amalgam granules consist of sodium dissolved in mercury, used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis. They are classified under tariff item 2853.90.00 as an amalgam other than of precious metals, as the heading covers all non-precious metal amalgams. The product's granular form does not affect its classification, as it is a chemical compound in a defined state.
