Alternative Classifications

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

2815.30.00.00Same rate: 38.7%

If purely potassium or sodium hydroxide without boron

Chapter notes exclude non-specified metal oxides; perborates are distinctly boron-based peroxy salts.

3824Lower: 15% vs 38.7%

If sold as bleaching additive mixture for retail textile cleaning

Retail-packaged chemical preparations for specific uses fall under 3824, not as individual chemically defined compounds.

3204.11.50.00Higher: 41.5% vs 38.7%

If synthetic organic coloring matter with perborate as auxiliary

Dispersions with perborates for pigments shift to Chapter 32 based on principal synthetic organic content.

Import Tips & Compliance

Confirm anhydrous status with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data, as hydrated forms have different densities and handling

Store and ship under inert atmosphere to prevent decomposition; declare as oxidizer Class 5.1
