Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate (min. 99%) to confirm classification as chemically defined cerium under Chapter 28
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) due to pyrophoric nature; declare as UN 3077 hazardous material
• Avoid misclassification as alloys if interalloyed with other rare-earths, which shifts to other subheadings
