2833.40.60 - Other

This HTS category, 2833.40.60, encompasses "Other" peroxosulfates (persulfates). This classification is for peroxosulfates that do not fall under the specific subheadings for sodium peroxosulfates. Peroxosulfates are inorganic salts characterized by the presence of the peroxodisulfate anion (S₂O₈²⁻), which contains an oxygen-oxygen single bond. These compounds are powerful oxidizing agents and find applications in various industrial processes.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2833.40.20 (Peroxosulfates (persulfates) of sodium), is crucial. This node specifically excludes peroxosulfates where sodium is the primary cation. Therefore, any peroxosulfates where the cation is not sodium, or where the substance is a mixture not primarily containing sodium, would be directed here.

Within this "Other" category, further distinctions are made based on the cation present. The subcategories 2833.40.60.10 (Of potassium), 2833.40.60.20 (Of ammonium), and 2833.40.60.50 (Other) provide specific classifications for peroxosulfates of potassium and ammonium, respectively. The final "Other" subheading is reserved for any remaining peroxosulfates not covered by these more specific cation-based classifications, ensuring comprehensive coverage of this chemical group.
