Trisodium Phosphate Dodecahydrate

Trisodium phosphate dodecahydrate (Na3PO4·12H2O) is the hydrated form of the trisodium salt of phosphoric acid, widely used in detergents and as a pH buffer. Classified under HTS 2835.29.30.00 specifically for trisodium phosphates, whether pure or hydrated. Its high alkalinity makes it effective for heavy-duty cleaning.

Alternative Classifications

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

2835.22.00Lower: 36.4% vs 37.2%

If disodium instead of trisodium

Disodium phosphates fall under separate subheading 2835.22; sodium ion count determines classification per heading notes.

2839.19.00Lower: 36.1% vs 37.2%

If blended with silicates

Complex salts with silicates for detergents may classify under 2839 if meeting double salt provisions of note.

3402.90.50Higher: 38.7% vs 37.2%

If part of liquid detergent formulation

When incorporated into finished cleaning products, shifts to Chapter 34 for organic surface-active preparations.
