2925.11.00.00 - Saccharin and its salts

This HTS category, 2925.11.00.00, specifically classifies saccharin and its various salts. Saccharin is a well-known artificial sweetener, and its salts, such as sodium saccharin and calcium saccharin, are commonly used in food products, beverages, and pharmaceuticals for their sweetening properties. The classification hinges on the chemical identity of these compounds, focusing on their role as imide derivatives within the broader scope of carboxyimide-function compounds.

This entry is distinct from its sibling category, 2925.12.00.00, which covers glutethimide, an analgesic and hypnotic drug. While both are imide derivatives, saccharin and its salts are primarily recognized for their non-medicinal sweetening applications, whereas glutethimide is a pharmaceutical substance with distinct therapeutic uses. The remaining sibling category, 2925.19, is a residual "other" category for imides and their derivatives not otherwise specified.

As a leaf node, 2925.11.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification focuses on ensuring that the imported or exported material is indeed saccharin or one of its recognized salts. Proper identification will typically rely on chemical analysis and confirmation of the compound's chemical structure and properties as described in chemical literature or scientific databases.
