Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in stabilized solution with organic substances
Stabilized sulfite forms or similar would fall under dithionites heading 2831, but chlorides stay in 2827.
If for laboratory reagent kits
Retail-packed chemical preparations exclude pure compounds per Chapter exclusions.
