Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the neodymium nitrate is presented as a mixture of rare-earth compounds
Compounds of rare-earth metals are classified in heading 28.46, which takes precedence over other Chapter 28 headings under Section VI Note 1(B).
If the product is a formulated mixture for a specific industrial use
Prepared binders or chemical products not elsewhere specified fall under Chapter 38 when they are not separate chemically defined compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the product is a separate chemically defined compound with no added substances that render it suitable for a specific use, per Chapter 28 Note 1
• Declare the correct 8-digit code 2834.29.00 on your customs documentation to avoid reclassification
• If the nitrate is mixed with other compounds, verify whether it still qualifies as a pure nitrate under this heading
