Silver Nitrite Analytical Reagent from Japan
Silver nitrite (AgNO2) is a fine powder used as a reagent in organic synthesis and analytical labs for nitrate testing. Under HTS 2834.10.5000 as 'other' nitrites, it qualifies as chemically defined without precious metal exclusions since it's a compound, not pure metal (per Chapter 28 note 6(f)). High-purity lab grade.

Import Tips
• Certify ACS reagent grade purity; declare silver content accurately for duty but maintain compound status
• Store and ship light-protected to prevent decomposition
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics metal powder
