Potassium Dichromate Crystals
Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) in crystalline form is a strong oxidizer and salt of dichromic acid. Classified under HTS 2841.50.91.00 as an 'other' dichromate, distinct from basic chromates like chromic acid. Widely used in analytical chemistry, photography, and as a mordant in dyeing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If specifically enumerated as potassium dichromate in statistical suffixes
Certain enumerated dichromates have specific substats, but 'other' covers unspecified forms.
If used as inorganic pigment in finished paint products
Chromate pigments prepared as luminophores or colors classify under Chapter 32.
If doped or treated for anticorrosion use in metal coatings
Antiknock preparations or treated additives shift to heading 3811.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label packages with UN hazard class 5.1 (oxidizer) and ensure DOT-compliant shipping documentation
• Provide assay certificates proving >98% purity to avoid reclassification as a preparation under 3824
• Check state-level restrictions on hexavalent chromium; pitfall is failing to declare for superfund reporting
