Last updated: July 2026 dataPotassium chlorate and other non-sodium chlorates — used in matches, pyrotechnics, herbicides, and specialty oxidizer applications — fall under this residual heading, with Brazil and China as the leading US suppliers. The US schedule provides two 10-digit lines (2829190000 and 2829190100) for these compounds; correct line selection requires attention to the specific product and any applicable trade-remedy orders, as China-origin chlorates may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. These compounds are strong oxidizers and are subject to strict DOT transport and storage regulations.

Potassium chlorate is the most commercially significant compound in this group, used primarily in safety matches, fireworks and pyrotechnics, and as an oxidizing agent in certain herbicide formulations. Specialty industrial applications include use as a laboratory reagent and in the production of other chlorine-oxygen compounds.
Both lines cover chlorates other than sodium chlorate on a NESOI basis, and the correct assignment depends on the specific product description and any binding ruling or CBP guidance applicable to the commodity. Importers should request a binding ruling from CBP or consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the appropriate 10-digit classification before the first entry, particularly given that duty treatment may differ between the two lines.
