U.S. imports of dithionites & sulfoxylates (except sodium) (HS 283190) totaled $21K in June 2026, traded with 2 countries.
Dithionites & Sulfoxylates (Except Sodium) imports of $21K in June 2026 ran 296% above the year-to-date monthly average of $5K.
Zinc dithionite, calcium dithionite, and other non-sodium dithionites and sulfoxylates are consolidated under a single 10-digit line, 2831900000, reflecting their more limited commercial volumes compared to the sodium-based counterparts. These compounds find use as reducing agents in specialty dyeing, wastewater treatment, and certain polymer applications. India is the leading US supplier, followed by Germany and Japan. Importers should note that some non-sodium dithionites share the same flammable-solid hazmat classification as sodium dithionite and require equivalent DOT-compliant packaging.
