2915.29.10.00 - Cupric acetate monohydrate

This HTS category, specifically 2915.29.10.00, covers cupric acetate monohydrate. This compound, also known as copper(II) acetate monohydrate, is an organic salt derived from acetic acid and copper. It typically presents as a green crystalline solid and finds applications in various industrial processes, including as a pigment, a catalyst, and in textile dyeing. Its classification under this heading signifies its specific chemical identity and its placement within the broader group of acetic acid derivatives.

Distinguishing cupric acetate monohydrate from its sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike sodium acetate (2915.29.20.00), which is a widely used food additive and buffering agent, or cobalt acetates (2915.29.30.00), employed in driers for paints and inks, cupric acetate monohydrate is identified by the presence of copper as its cationic component and its monohydrate form. The "Other" category (2915.29.50.00) serves as a residual classification for other acetic acid salts or anhydrides not specifically enumerated elsewhere at this level.

As a leaf node, HTS code 2915.29.10.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the primary classification criteria for goods falling under this code will be their definitive identification as cupric acetate monohydrate, considering its chemical composition, physical form, and established use as an industrial chemical. Customs professionals should refer to analytical documentation and product specifications to confirm that the imported or exported substance precisely matches the chemical and hydration state of cupric acetate monohydrate.
