Last updated: August 2026 dataSodium permanganate — the commercially dominant compound in this heading — is an increasingly preferred alternative to potassium permanganate in water treatment because it introduces no potassium ions into treated water, a distinction that matters for certain industrial and municipal applications. The US schedule separates sodium permanganate (2841690010) from other manganites, manganates, and permanganates (2841690090). India and China are the primary US import sources, with Canada also a notable supplier.

Sodium permanganate is preferred when potassium ion loading in treated water is a concern, and it is also available in liquid form, simplifying dosing. For classification, the distinction matters: sodium permanganate files under 2841690010, while potassium permanganate has its own heading (284161). Using the wrong line can trigger a CF-28 request for information from CBP.
India and China together account for the bulk of US supply in this heading. Importers relying heavily on either source should monitor Section 301 tariff exposure for Chinese-origin shipments and maintain alternative supplier qualifications, as production is concentrated among a relatively small number of manufacturers globally.
