Calcium Nitrate Tetrahydrate
Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (Ca(NO3)2·4H2O) is a chemically defined inorganic salt of calcium used primarily as a fertilizer component and in concrete setting accelerators. It falls under HTS 2834.29.10.00 as a nitrate of calcium, distinct from ammonium nitrate or other nitrates classified elsewhere. This white, hygroscopic crystalline powder provides essential nitrogen and calcium to plants.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If put up as a fertilizer for retail sale
Mixtures containing primarily calcium nitrate for agricultural use are classified in Chapter 31 as fertilizers, not pure chemical compounds.
If mixed with other chemicals for industrial formulations
Blended preparations like concrete admixtures fall under chemical preparations rather than individual nitrates.
If containing phosphides or other additives
Phosphinates, phosphonates, or complex salts shift to heading 2835 for specific inorganic acid salts.
