Description

HSN 28362020 covers light disodium carbonate (light soda ash), a lower-bulk-density form of sodium carbonate used in detergent and chemical manufacturing.

Export Considerations

Ships in bulk bags with moisture-proof packaging due to hygroscopicity; light grade has a different particle structure than dense grade so buyers specify grade explicitly in orders.
