3824.99.32.00 - Of hydrosulfite compounds, of sulfoxylate compounds, or of both

This HTS classification, 3824.99.32.00, specifically designates chemical products and preparations composed of or containing hydrosulfite compounds, sulfoxylate compounds, or a combination thereof. These substances are typically used for their reducing properties in various industrial processes, such as dyeing, bleaching, and chemical synthesis. The classification emphasizes the presence of these specific sulfur-based reducing agents as the defining characteristic of the product.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 3824.99.32.00 focuses solely on hydrosulfite and sulfoxylate compounds, excluding products where the primary defining inorganic component is bismuth, mercury, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, or other specified elements. While other sibling categories may also be mixtures of inorganic compounds, the defining chemical moiety here is distinct and directly relates to the chemical function of hydrosulfites and sulfoxylates.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 3824.99.32.00 is on accurately identifying the presence and primary nature of hydrosulfite or sulfoxylate compounds within the imported mixture. Importers should ensure that the product's chemical composition, as detailed in safety data sheets or product specifications, confirms the presence of these specific compounds as the principal constituents or active agents.
