Import Tips
• 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
