Sodium Silicofluoride Powder from Japan
Sodium silicofluoride (Na2SiF6) is a white crystalline powder used primarily as a fluoridating agent in water treatment to prevent tooth decay. It falls under HTS 2826.90.1000 as it is a chemically defined fluorosilicate of sodium, specifically classified among complex fluorine salts in Chapter 28. This inorganic compound meets the criteria for subheading 2852.10 but is explicitly placed here.
