Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the purity and chemical identity on the certificate of analysis, as rare earth compounds may be subject to additional reporting
• If the cerium fluoride is used as a catalyst, verify whether it is a separate chemically defined compound or a mixture, as catalytic preparations may be classified under heading 3815
• Ensure proper labelling for hazardous materials if applicable
