Barium Metal Ingots
High-purity barium metal cast into ingots, used primarily in the production of alloys and chemicals. This elemental barium falls under HTS 2805.19.20.00 as it is an alkaline-earth metal in its pure form, not interalloyed or intermixed. Typically supplied in vacuum-sealed packaging to prevent oxidation.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If processed into barium oxide or peroxide
Barium compounds like oxides shift from elemental metals in Chapter 28 to specific compound headings.
If alloyed with rare-earth or other metals
Interalloyed barium with base metals falls under Chapter 81 for other base metals.
If doped for electronic use in disc or wafer form
Doped chemical elements cut into wafers move to heading 3818 per Chapter Note.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain material safety data sheets (MSDS) and purity certificates, as barium is reactive and requires UN hazmat classification (UN1406)
• Verify no interalloying; if alloyed with other metals, reclassify to Section XV (Chapter 72+)
• Use proper storage documentation to avoid oxidation claims during customs inspection
