Praseodymium Metal Ingots
High-purity praseodymium metal ingots, typically 99.9% pure, used in the production of rare-earth magnets and alloys. Classified under HTS 2805.30.00.15 as pure praseodymium, a rare-earth metal not intermixed or interalloyed. These ingots are the basic form for further processing in electronics and metallurgy.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chemically defined compounds like praseodymium oxide
Pure metal elements stay in 2805; compounds of rare-earths shift to 2846 per Chapter 28 notes.
If mixed with other materials as semiconductor dopant
Mixtures or preparations not chemically defined fall outside Chapter 28 per exclusion notes.
If in powdered form >99.9% pure
Rare-earth powders may classify under Chapter 81 for other metals in unwrought forms.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain certificates of analysis confirming purity >99% to avoid reclassification as alloys under Chapter 28
• Comply with REACH and TSCA regulations for rare-earth metals; provide origin certificates due to China dominance in supply
• Declare exact weight and purity on commercial invoice to prevent customs disputes on valuation
