Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2846.90.80Lower: 3.7% vs 5%

If intermixed with other rare-earth metals

Mixtures of rare-earth metals like mischmetal fall under 2846 as compounds or intermixtures, not pure elements.

3824.99Higher: 15% vs 5%

If chemically doped for electronics

Doped lanthanum for semiconductor use may classify as chemical preparations in 3824 rather than pure metal.

8541.90.00Higher: 50% vs 5%

If manufactured into semiconductor wafers

Processed into wafers or discs, it becomes parts of semiconductor devices under Chapter 85.

Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying purity >99% lanthanum to confirm classification under 2805.30.00.05

Ensure proper hazardous material declaration as lanthanum is pyrophoric; comply with DOT/IMDG shipping regulations

Avoid misclassification as mischmetal by providing documentation proving not intermixed with other rare-earths
