Last updated: August 2026 dataPersulfates—sodium, potassium, and ammonium variants—are strong oxidizing agents widely used in printed circuit board etching, polymer initiation, hair-bleaching formulations, and soil remediation. The US schedule enumerates them across four active 10-digit lines (2833402000, 2833406010, 2833406020, and 2833406050), with Germany the leading supplier and India and Canada also significant sources.

Ammonium and sodium persulfates from China have historically been subject to US antidumping duty orders. Importers must check the current scope of any active orders with CBP and the Department of Commerce before entry, as scope rulings and suspension agreements can affect applicability.
The US schedule separates sodium persulfate (2833402000), potassium persulfate (2833406010), and ammonium persulfate (2833406020), with a residual line (2833406050) for all other persulfates. Correct classification depends on the specific cation, which should be confirmed by the supplier's certificate of analysis.
