Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If as gadolinium oxide
Rare-earth oxides classify separately in 2846 from metallic forms.
If incorporated into permanent magnets
Rare-earth magnet assemblies shift to Chapter 85 electro-magnets.
If radioactive gadolinium-153 isotope
Radioactive isotopes of rare-earths fall under 2844 regardless of form.
