Alternative Classifications

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

2831.10Lower: 15.5% vs 41.5%

If containing 97% or more by weight of sodium hydrosulfite

Pure or highly concentrated sodium dithionite compounds are classified under inorganic sodium compounds in heading 2831, not as mixtures.

3824.99Same rate: 41.5%

If the mixture contains primarily organic compounds

Mixtures dominated by organic chemicals fall under the residual chemical mixtures subheading, excluding those specified for inorganic compounds like hydrosulfites.

3809.91.00.00Lower: 41% vs 41.5%

If specifically finishing agents for textiles

Preparations put up for retail sale as textile finishing agents are classified in heading 3809, separate from general chemical mixtures.
