Lithium Chloride Anhydrous

Lithium chloride anhydrous (LiCl) is a white, hygroscopic crystalline salt used in industrial applications such as air conditioning systems, pyrotechnics, and as a flux in welding. It falls under HTS 2827.39.9010 as a chemically defined chloride of lithium, classified in Chapter 28 for inorganic chlorides excluding those specified elsewhere. This subheading covers other chlorides of lithium not fitting more specific categories.

Lithium Chloride Monohydrate

Lithium chloride monohydrate (LiCl·H₂O) is a hydrated form used in batteries, pharmaceuticals, and as a desiccant in drying processes. Classified under HTS 2827.39.9010 as 'other chlorides of lithium,' it meets Chapter 28 definitions for chemically defined inorganic metal chlorides. Hydrated state does not change heading per tariff structure.
