Last updated: April 2026 dataAcetate salts cover a commercially diverse group: cupric acetate monohydrate (2915291000), sodium acetate (2915292000), cobalt acetates (2915293000), and other acetate salts across two residual lines. Netherlands and China are the leading US import sources, with Canada also significant. Sodium acetate is widely used in food preservation and heating pads, cobalt acetates serve as catalysts in PTA and polyester production, and cupric acetate finds use in fungicides and pigments — making correct subheading selection essential since each compound has a dedicated or residual line.

Pure cobalt acetates are specifically enumerated under 2915293000. Mixtures containing cobalt acetate may be classified differently depending on their composition and the applicable GRI rules — a mixture classified as a preparation rather than a pure chemical could fall outside Chapter 29 entirely. Importers should review Chapter 29 Note 1 and consult a licensed customs broker for mixture products.
Sodium acetate used as a food additive or food-grade preservative is subject to FDA jurisdiction. Importers of food-grade sodium acetate should ensure the product meets FDA purity specifications and be prepared for FDA sampling at the port of entry. Industrial-grade sodium acetate for non-food uses does not trigger the same admissibility review.
