2834.10.50.00 - Other

This HTS category, 2834.10.50.00, encompasses "Other" nitrites. This residual classification applies to nitrites of chemical elements or compounds not specifically listed under other subheadings within the nitrites category. Generally, these will be inorganic nitrites that do not fall under the more specific classifications, such as sodium nitrites. The key characteristic for classification here is the presence of the nitrite ion (NO2) in a compound that is not sodium nitrite.

This subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 2834.10.10.00, which specifically covers nitrites of sodium. Therefore, if a nitrite compound contains sodium, it would be classified under 2834.10.10.00. This "Other" category is for all other inorganic nitrites, such as potassium nitrite or ammonium nitrite, where the cation is not sodium.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 2834.10.50.00. Classification within this heading relies on the accurate identification of the chemical compound as a nitrite and the exclusion from more specific tariff provisions, particularly the subheading for sodium nitrites. Customs professionals should consult chemical analyses and product specifications to confirm the chemical composition and ensure correct classification.
