Last updated: July 2026 dataCobalt, iron, vanadium, chromium, zinc, and manganese sulfates—along with residual sulfates not covered by dedicated headings—are consolidated here across eight distinct 10-digit tariff lines, making correct line selection critical for duty and trade-remedy purposes. Cobalt sulfate (2833291000) is a key precursor in lithium-ion battery cathode manufacturing, giving this heading strategic importance in the EV supply chain. Mexico leads US imports under this heading, with China and India also significant sources; China-origin cobalt and vanadium sulfates may carry Section 301 exposure.

Cobalt sulfate is specifically enumerated under 2833291000. Correct line selection matters because cobalt sulfate sourced from certain countries may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, and the duty treatment can differ from other sulfates classified under the residual lines 2833295190 or 2833299100.
Mixed-metal sulfate solutions are classified by the component that gives the mixture its essential character, or under the residual 'NESOI' lines if no single metal predominates. A licensed customs broker should be consulted, as misclassification between the enumerated lines can affect both duty rates and trade-remedy applicability.
