Vanadyl Chloride Hydrate from China
Vanadyl chloride hydrate (VOCl2·nH2O) is a hydrated chloride hydroxide of vanadium used in analytical chemistry and as a precursor for vanadium compounds. It falls under HTS 2827.39.10.00 covering chloride hydroxides of vanadium as chemically defined inorganic compounds. The hydrate form maintains the core vanadium-chlorine-oxygen structure.

Import Tips
• Specify hydrate water content in SDS; mislabeling leads to incorrect hazard class
• Lab-scale imports (<100g) may qualify for simplified declarations but still need TSCA
• Avoid classification errors with non-hydrated forms; document crystal structure
