Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the yttrium nitrate is a compound of yttrium, which is a rare earth metal
Compounds of rare earth metals are classified in heading 28.46, which takes precedence over other Chapter 28 headings.
If the product is a formulated mixture for electronics applications
Chemical products and preparations not elsewhere specified are classified in Chapter 38 when not separate chemically defined compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Yttrium nitrate is a rare earth compound; verify whether it should be classified under heading 28.46 instead of 28.34, as Section VI Note 1(B) gives precedence to rare earth compounds
• Ensure the hydrate form is accurately described in your customs documentation
• If used in electronics, confirm no additional substances are added that could change classification
