Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate (min 99% neodymium) to confirm classification as chemically defined rare-earth metal under Chapter 28
• Provide mill test report showing no significant intermixing with other rare-earths to avoid reclassification
• Comply with REACH-like regulations; declare as hazardous if stored under oil to prevent oxidation
