Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare the pieces as pure erbium under 2805.30.00, and include the atomic number and purity on the invoice
• Ensure the pieces are not doped for electronics use, as that would change the classification
• Check if the pieces are considered waste or scrap, which may have different rules
