Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied as cerium-neodymium mischmetal alloy
Interalloyed rare-earth metals classified as mixtures in 2846, not pure neodymium.
If in powdered form with particle size <100 microns
Fine metal powders may fall under 2850 as other metal powders, depending on processing.
If processed into wafers for electronic applications
Rare-earth metal wafers for electronics classified as electrical machinery parts.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include storage condition documentation (under inert atmosphere) as neodymium oxidizes rapidly in air
• Ensure CAS number 7440-00-8 is listed; impurities must be below 1% to maintain Chapter 28 classification
• Check for anti-dumping duties from China; provide country-of-melt certificates
