Sodium Nitrite Industrial Grade from China

Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) is a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder used primarily in the chemical industry for producing diazo dyes, nitroso compounds, and as a corrosion inhibitor. It falls under HTS 2834.10.5000 as an 'other' inorganic nitrite of sodium, chemically defined per Chapter 28 notes, excluding those covered by other specific headings. This classification applies to bulk industrial forms not meeting exclusions like organo-inorganic compounds.

Import Tips

Verify purity and chemical composition via lab certification to confirm 'chemically defined' status per Chapter 28 Note 1; include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for hazardous material handling

Avoid misclassification by ensuring no organic stabilizers that could shift to heading 2831

Check for REACH-like compliance if sourced from EU for nitrite restrictions
