Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as pure citric acid instead of salt
The parent citric acid (not its sodium salt) classifies under the citric acid specific heading.
If food/ technical grade with impurities
Technical grade sodium citrate with lower purity (<99%) for industrial use classifies as mixtures.
If chemically modified sugar derivative form
Certain modified citrate derivatives from sugars fall under Chapter 29 sugar derivatives.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide British Pharmacopoeia compliance certificates and batch testing results for EU import validation
• Declare exact assay percentage (typically 99-101%) to avoid reclassification as technical grade
• Check for anti-caking agents; additions exceeding stabilizer limits may shift to heading 3824
