Import Tips

Verify purity certificates and chemical analysis reports to confirm classification as rare-earth metal under Chapter 28, avoiding misclassification as alloys

Ensure proper hazardous material declarations if stored under inert atmosphere; common pitfall is oxidation leading to purity disputes at customs

Provide end-use documentation for magnets to qualify for potential duty relief programs, but note REACH compliance for EU transshipments
