Sodium Bromate from Germany
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.

Import Tips
• 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
