Alternative Classifications

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

2829.90Lower: 13.7% vs 36.5%

If contaminated or containing more than 1% impurities

Impure potassium dichromate exceeding purity thresholds falls under other chemically defined salts of inorganic acids in 2829.90.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 36.5%

If imported as a formulated solution or mixture for retail

Prepared chemical mixtures or lab reagents not purely chemically defined are classified in Chapter 38 as chemical preparations.

2841.50.91.00Higher: 38.1% vs 36.5%

If other dichromates like sodium dichromate

Heading 2841.50 covers all dichromates except potassium specifically; other metal salts go to the 'other' subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify chemical purity and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm it meets 'chemically defined' criteria under Chapter 28 Note 1

Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) highlighting toxicity and oxidizing properties for DOT and EPA compliance during import

Avoid misclassification as a mixture; ensure labeling specifies 'potassium dichromate' to prevent scrutiny under hazardous materials regs
