Sodium Trichloroacetate
Sodium trichloroacetate is the sodium salt of trichloroacetic acid, a saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid with three chlorine substitutions. It falls under HTS 2915.40.50 as 'other' salts of trichloroacetic acid, distinct from specific esters or the pure acid. Commonly used in organic synthesis and as a herbicide intermediate.

This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not derived from mono-, di-, or trichloroacetic acid
General saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid salts fall under 2915.90 if lacking specific chlorination pattern.
If formulated as herbicide containing >95% sodium trichloroacetate
Pesticide formulations shift to Chapter 38 regardless of active ingredient classification.
If containing radioactive isotopes for tracer studies
Radioactive chemical preparations take precedence in Chapter 28 over organic acid derivatives.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming trichloroacetate content and purity to verify classification under 2915.40.50
• Ensure SDS includes CAS number 650-51-1 and classifies as organochlorine compound to avoid misclassification as inorganic salt
• Declare exact chlorine substitution level; incomplete documentation may lead to reclassification under general organic chemicals
