Alternative Classifications

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

2832Lower: 13.1% vs 40.5%

If misclassified as other sulfonic acid inorganic salts

Chapter note 3(C)(1) mandates organic compound heading, preventing Chapter 28 classification.

3204.12.50Higher: 41.5% vs 40.5%

If for use in direct dye formulations

Once incorporated into finished coloring matter, exclusion (g) applies shifting to Chapter 32.

Import Tips & Compliance

Specify 'disodium salt' and provide sodium analysis (typically 2 Na per molecule)

Monitor for hydration state; dihydrate forms common and affect weight declarations

Include downstream dye manufacturing end-use statement to support intermediate classification
