Lithium Hexafluorophosphate Powder
Pure lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in fine powder form, a key electrolyte salt used in lithium-ion battery production. It falls under HTS 2826.90.90.10 as a complex fluorine salt of lithium, chemically defined per Chapter 28 notes. This inorganic compound provides high ionic conductivity in non-aqueous solvents for battery applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing fluoride ions but heterocyclic structure dominates
Organic fluorine compounds with specific ring structures shift to Chapter 29, excluding simple inorganic salts like LiPF6.
If supplied as formulated electrolyte mixture with solvents
Prepared chemical mixtures for specific uses like batteries fall under heading 3824, not pure chemically defined salts.
If classified as a peroxy salt rather than fluoro salt
Chapter notes direct certain peroxysalts to 2847, but LiPF6's fluorine complex nature keeps it in 2826.
