U.S. imports of fluorides (not elsewhere specified) (HS 282619) totaled $4.1M in April 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAmmonium, sodium, and potassium fluorides—along with other fluorine salts not classified elsewhere—serve as critical process chemicals in glass etching, metal surface treatment, and semiconductor fabrication. The US tariff schedule breaks this heading into distinct 10-digit lines including ammonium fluoride (2826191000), sodium fluoride (2826192000), potassium fluoride (2826199010), and a residual basket (2826199080). Germany and Japan are the leading suppliers, reflecting the high-purity specialty-chemical manufacturing capacity required for electronics and industrial applications. Importers should verify that the specific cation and purity grade map to the correct 10-digit line, as misclassification between the ammonium, sodium, and NESOI lines is a common audit finding.

Classification depends on the specific metal or ammonium cation bonded to fluorine. Ammonium fluoride goes to 2826191000, sodium fluoride to 2826192000, potassium fluoride to 2826199010, and all other fluorides not specifically named fall to the residual line 2826199080. A licensed customs broker or CBP binding ruling can confirm the correct line when the product is a mixture or a less common cation.
Certain fluoride products sourced from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the specific 10-digit subheading. Importers should review the current Section 301 annexes and consult a licensed customs broker to confirm applicability for their specific product and origin.
