Sodium Persulfate Powder

Sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) is a white crystalline powder used as an oxidizing agent in chemical synthesis, polymer initiation, and bleaching processes. It falls under HTS 2833.40.60.50 as a peroxosulfate (persulfate) of sodium, classified as 'other' peroxosulfates not specified elsewhere in the subheading. This chemically defined inorganic compound meets Chapter 28 criteria for peroxosulfates.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2847.00.00.00Higher: 38.7% vs 38.1%

If stabilized or solidified with urea or organic substances

Peroxides like hydrogen peroxide solidified with urea fall under heading 2847; persulfates with organic stabilizers may shift per Chapter 28 notes.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 38.1%

If imported as formulated mixture for retail or specific end-use

Chemical preparations containing persulfates but not chemically defined pure compounds classify as 'other chemical products' in 3824.

2833.19.00.00Lower: 35% vs 38.1%

If disodium salt without peroxo group (regular sulfate)

Non-peroxo disodium sulfate (Na2SO4) falls under 2833.19; lacks the O-O bond defining peroxosulfates.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify purity certificate (typically 98%+ Na2S2O8) to confirm classification as chemically defined peroxosulfate under Chapter 28 Note 1

Include Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) highlighting oxidizing properties for DOT hazardous material compliance during import

Avoid misclassification as general sulfates (2833.2x) by providing assay reports; common pitfall is bulk packaging mistaken for industrial mixtures
