Last updated: April 2026 dataBeyond dicalcium phosphate, a range of calcium phosphate salts — including tricalcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, and monocalcium phosphate — fall under this residual heading, each serving distinct roles in food fortification, ceramics, and biomedical applications. The Netherlands and Russia are leading US import sources, with Japan and Morocco also contributing supply. All entries are consolidated under tariff line 2835260000, making precise chemical identification on import documentation essential for downstream quality and regulatory purposes. Food and supplement applications trigger FDA admissibility review.

Heading 283525 is reserved exclusively for calcium hydrogenorthophosphate (dicalcium phosphate, CaHPO₄). Heading 283526 captures all other calcium phosphate salts not elsewhere specified, including tricalcium phosphate (Ca₃(PO₄)₂), monocalcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite. Importers should verify the precise chemical formula and CAS number on their documentation to ensure correct classification and avoid potential reclassification at the border.
The Netherlands and Russia are the top US suppliers under this heading. Geopolitical developments affecting Russian exports and shifting European chemical logistics can create supply disruptions. Importers relying on a single-origin strategy may wish to qualify alternative suppliers in Japan or Morocco to manage concentration risk, particularly for specialty or high-purity grades.
