Technical Grade Potassium Bromate
Technical grade potassium bromate, meeting industrial purity standards (typically 98-99%), supplied as granular or crystalline material for use in dough conditioning in commercial baking outside restricted markets. Classified under HTS 2829.90.0500 as it is explicitly 'potassium bromate,' an inorganic bromate salt per Chapter 28 notes for chemically defined compounds.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If perchlorates rather than bromates
Perchlorates like potassium perchlorate classify under 2833, distinct from bromates in 2829 based on the anion type per Chapter 28 structure.
If formulated as diammonium phosphate substitute in fertilizers
Fertilizer blends containing bromates would fall under Chapter 31 per exclusions in Chapter 28 notes, not as pure chemical compounds.
If for use as supported catalyst in chemical reactions
If impregnated on inert supports for industrial catalysis, it shifts to Chapter 38 as a prepared binder or catalyst, not a pure inorganic salt.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm end-use declaration to CBP as non-food (e.g
• lab or export reprocessing) to comply with US food additive bans
• Ship in UN-approved oxidizer packaging (Division 5.1)
• Watch for re-export requirements if destined for countries allowing bakery use
