Yttrium Metal Ingots
Pure yttrium metal in ingot form, atomic number 39, classified as a rare-earth metal under HTS 2805.30.0050 since it is not intermixed or interalloyed with other metals. Used primarily in alloys for high-temperature applications and electronics.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mixed with compounds of other rare-earths
Intermixed rare-earth compounds fall under heading 2846 for coordinated compounds, not pure metals.
If alloyed with base metals for industrial use
Alloys containing rare-earths as additives are classified in Chapter 38 as chemical preparations, not pure metals.
If doped for semiconductor wafers
Doped rare-earth elements cut into wafers for photosensitive semiconductors shift to Chapter 85.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain certificates of purity and chemical analysis from suppliers to confirm compliance with 'chemically defined' rare-earth metal requirements
• Declare exact purity levels (e.g
• 99.9% yttrium) on entry documents; impurities over 1% may trigger reclassification
• Store in inert atmospheres to prevent oxidation; inspect for contamination upon arrival to avoid disputes
