Last updated: April 2026 dataSodium bromide and potassium bromide — widely used in oil and gas completion fluids, pharmaceutical synthesis, and photographic chemistry — are classified together under a single 10-digit line (2827510000). Israel is the leading US supplier, reflecting its access to Dead Sea brine resources that yield bromine-derived salts at competitive cost. India and France are also significant sources. Importers should note that pharmaceutical-grade material may require additional FDA documentation at entry beyond standard customs clearance.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Israel's Dead Sea Works extracts bromine from hypersaline brine at large scale, giving Israeli producers a natural feedstock advantage for bromine-derived salts including sodium and potassium bromide. This concentration of production capacity makes Israel the primary global export source for these compounds.
Pharmaceutical-grade potassium bromide intended for drug manufacturing may be subject to FDA review as an active pharmaceutical ingredient or excipient. Importers should ensure the foreign manufacturer is registered with FDA and that the shipment is accompanied by a certificate of analysis and, where applicable, a drug master file reference. Consult a licensed customs broker or regulatory specialist for entry-specific requirements.
