Technical Grade Saccharin
Technical Grade Saccharin is a lower-purity saccharin, typically 95-98%, used for industrial applications such as electroplating baths and non-food sweeteners. Despite the lower purity, it is still a chemically defined organic compound, as Chapter 29 allows for impurities. It is classifiable under tariff item 2925.11.00 as saccharin.

FCC Grade Saccharin Sodium Dihydrate
FCC Grade Saccharin Sodium Dihydrate is a hydrated salt form of saccharin, a synthetic sweetener approximately 300-400 times sweeter than sugar. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound, specifically a salt of saccharin, and is intended for direct food use. This product falls under tariff item 2925.11.00 as a saccharin salt, consistent with Chapter 29's coverage of chemically defined organic compounds.
Granulated Saccharin Sodium
Granulated Saccharin Sodium is a free-flowing granular form of saccharin sodium, often with a minimal binder to prevent caking. It remains a salt of saccharin, a chemically defined organic compound, and is used in tabletop sweeteners and bulk food processing. The added binder, if minimal and for preservation or transport, does not remove it from Chapter 29 coverage under tariff item 2925.11.00.
Insoluble Saccharin Powder
Insoluble Saccharin Powder is the acid form of saccharin, a chemically defined organic compound with limited water solubility. It is used in industrial blending for tabletop sweeteners and cosmetics. As the base compound of saccharin, it is classified under tariff item 2925.11.00, which covers saccharin and its salts.
Micronized Saccharin Sodium
Micronized Saccharin Sodium is saccharin sodium processed to a very fine particle size, typically under 10 microns, to improve dissolution in beverages and pharmaceutical liquids. The micronization is a physical process that does not alter the chemical identity of the saccharin salt. It remains a chemically defined organic compound classifiable under tariff item 2925.11.00.
Pharma Saccharin Calcium Salt
Pharma Saccharin Calcium Salt is a calcium salt form of saccharin, used in select pharmaceutical applications for its unique solubility properties. As a salt of saccharin, it is a chemically defined organic compound. It falls under tariff item 2925.11.00, which explicitly covers saccharin and its salts.
Saccharin for Tobacco Flavoring
