Sodium Persulfate Powder from China

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.

Import Tips

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
