Products classified under HTS 3402.39.90.20
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
Sodium Laureth Sulfate is an anionic surfactant consisting of salts of sulfated polyethers, commonly used in shampoos and body washes for foaming and cleansing. It meets the Chapter 34 definition for organic surface-active agents by reducing surface tension in water solutions. Classified under HTS 3402.39.90.20 as salts of sulfated polyethers, other than soap.
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate serves as a mild anionic surfactant derived from sulfated polyether chains, ideal for sulfate-free claim alternatives in hair care products. It qualifies under heading 3402 for organic surface-active agents forming stable emulsions. HTS 3402.39.90.20 covers it specifically as salts of sulfated polyethers.
Sodium Myreth Sulfate
Sodium Myreth Sulfate is a sulfated polyether salt used in foaming cleansers and shower gels for its excellent lather properties. As an anionic organic surface-active agent, it complies with heading 3402 criteria for stable emulsions. Falls precisely under 3402.39.90.20 for other salts of sulfated polyethers.
Magnesium Laureth Sulfate
Magnesium Laureth Sulfate provides a creamy foam in personal care formulations as a salt of sulfated polyethers. It functions as an anionic surfactant meeting Chapter 34 surface tension tests. HTS 3402.39.90.20 applies to these specialized polyether salt variants.
Triethanolamine Laureth Sulfate
Triethanolamine Laureth Sulfate (TEA Laureth Sulfate) acts as an anionic surfactant salt used in liquid soaps and cleansers. Derived from sulfated ethoxylated alcohols, it fits heading 3402 organic surface-active agents. Specifically classified under 3402.39.90.20 as salts of sulfated polyethers.
