Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied as scandium halide salts
Rare-earth halide compounds are classified in 2846, separate from elemental metals.
If supported on catalysts for industrial reactions
Rare-earth metals on catalyst supports become chemical preparations under 3815.
If alloyed into ferrous scrap
Ferroalloys with rare-earths fall under Chapter 72 as iron/steel products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide spectrographic analysis reports verifying scandium content >99%; common pitfall is mislabeling as alloy
• Use vacuum-sealed packaging for import; exposure to air causes ignition risk during customs inspection
• Register with BIS if end-use involves defense applications due to strategic material controls
