Cobalt(II) Acetate Tetrahydrate
Cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate (Co(CH3COO)2·4H2O) is the hydrated salt of acetic acid with cobalt, classified under HTS 2915.29.30.00 as a cobalt acetate. It appears as red-pink crystals used in chemical synthesis and as a catalyst precursor. This falls within Chapter 29 for separate chemically defined organic compounds, specifically acetic acid salts.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If considered primarily inorganic cobalt compound
Inorganic cobalt compounds like cobalt oxide fall under Chapter 28; classification shifts if acetate not principal characteristic.
If imported as formulated mixture with stabilizers
Chemical preparations containing cobalt acetates exceed 70% by weight classify as mixtures in Chapter 38, not pure compounds.
If other acetate salt, not cobalt-specific
Other specified acetate salts like sodium acetate go here; cobalt-specific subheading applies only to cobalt acetates.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate to confirm it's chemically defined cobalt acetate per Chapter 29 notes; ensure SDS includes cobalt content for hazmat shipping
• Common pitfall: misclassifying as inorganic cobalt salt without organic acetate component
