2915.29.20.00 - Sodium acetate

This HTS category, 2915.29.20.00, specifically classifies **sodium acetate**. Sodium acetate is the sodium salt of acetic acid, commonly encountered in anhydrous or hydrated forms. It finds application in various industries, including food preservation as a seasoning and buffer, textile dyeing, and as a chemical intermediate.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, the focus here is solely on sodium acetate. Cupric acetate monohydrate (2915.29.10.00) involves copper as the cation, Cobalt acetates (2915.29.30.00) involve cobalt, and the "Other" category (2915.29.50.00) encompasses any remaining acetic acid salts not specifically enumerated elsewhere. This category isolates the sodium salt for distinct tariff treatment.

As a leaf node, 2915.29.20.00 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code depends on the accurate identification of the substance as sodium acetate, irrespective of its hydration state or purity, as long as it aligns with the broader description of acetic acid salts.
