Sodium Bromate
Sodium bromate (NaBrO3) is a white crystalline powder used primarily in the production of pharmaceuticals and as an oxidizing agent in organic synthesis. It falls under HTS 2829.90.61.00 as an 'other' bromate of inorganic bases, distinct from common chlorates or iodates. This chemically defined inorganic salt meets Chapter 28 criteria for classification here.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied as aqueous solution rather than solid salt
Aqueous solutions of sodium hypobromite or bromates fall under sodium hypochlorite and hypobromite heading.
If complexed with rare-earth metals for specialized catalysts
Complex salts with rare-earths are classified under rare-earth compounds rather than simple bromates.
If imported as mixture with organic stabilizers for retail
Stabilized preparations with organic substances may be treated as chemical preparations, not pure salts.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and chemical identity with certificates of analysis to confirm classification as chemically defined bromate per Chapter 28 Note 1
• Comply with EPA hazardous material regulations; include SDS and proper UN packaging for oxidizing solids (UN 1494)
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as bleach compound (2828); bromates are distinct oxidizers
