Alternative Classifications

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

2846.90.80Lower: 3.7% vs 5%

If containing >1% oxide impurities

Significant oxide content shifts classification to rare-earth metal oxides in 2846 rather than pure metal.

2835.29Higher: 14.1% vs 5%

If in the form of vanadate salts

Lanthanum vanadates are classified as vanadates of rare-earths under 2835, not elemental metal.

3815.90.20.00Higher: 37.8% vs 5%

If used as catalyst support material

Prepared catalyst supports containing lanthanum classify in 3815 as chemical preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance

Specify exact purity and particle size distribution in import documentation to distinguish from alloys or compounds

Classify as UN 3208 metallic substance, water-reactive for transport; use proper UN-approved containers

Test for oxide content (<0.5%) to avoid reclassification as lanthanum oxide under 2846.90
