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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing over 92% nickel by weight
Specific subheading for nickel-rich lithium chlorides; Chapter 28 notes prioritize metal salt compositions in certain cases.
If imported as a formulated mixture or solution for lab use
Mixtures of inorganic chemicals not chemically defined fall under 3824; Chapter 28 excludes organo-inorganic or complex mixtures.
If chemically combined with hydrogen peroxide
Per Chapter 28 note 2(e), certain derivatives like solidified hydrogen peroxide with urea shift to 2847, altering classification.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and anhydrous state via certificate of analysis to confirm classification under 2827.39.9010 and avoid misclassification as hydrated forms
• Include safety data sheets (SDS) documenting non-radioactive, chemically defined nature per Chapter 28 notes to prevent scrutiny under heading 2844
• Ensure proper Hazard Class 8 labeling for corrosive properties; common pitfall is inadequate documentation leading to customs holds
