Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in manganese or manganese alloy form
Barium in specific base metal alloys reclassifies to Chapter 81 headings.
If as rare-earth compounds
Complex compounds of rare-earths (if intermixed) fall under 2846, not pure barium.
If ferro-barium alloy
Ferro-alloys containing barium are classified in Chapter 72 iron/steel.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare as dangerous goods (Class 4.3, UN1406) with proper shipping papers; inert atmosphere packaging required
• Provide spectrographic analysis to confirm elemental barium vs compounds
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as scrap; ingot/rod forms are prime materials
