More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied as rare-earth compounds rather than elemental metal
Chapter notes exclude compounds from 2805; inorganic compounds of rare-earths go to heading 2846.
If interalloyed with iron exceeding base metal content
If alloyed such that it qualifies as ferroalloy, it shifts to Chapter 72 for iron and steel.
If chemically doped for electronic applications
Doped chemical elements for electronics are directed to 3818 per Chapter 28 note.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include spectrographic analysis to prove >99% purity; mislabeling as scandium mixtures can trigger reclassification
• Comply with ITAR if destined for defense applications; common issue is inadequate safety data sheets for pyrophoric risks
• Batch traceability required for REACH; avoid bulk shipments without individual lot certifications

Neodymium Metal Ingots
Pure neodymium metal in ingot form, a rare-earth element used primarily in the production of high-strength permanent magnets for electric motors and wind turbines. This product falls under HTS 2805.30.00 as it is a chemically defined rare-earth metal, whether or not intermixed or interalloyed, in unwrought form. It is supplied in vacuum-sealed packages to prevent oxidation.
Scandium Metal Powder
Ultra-high purity scandium metal in fine powder form, used in aerospace alloys like Scandium-Aluminum for lightweight aircraft parts. Falls under HTS 2805.30.00 as scandium is named in the heading for rare-earth metals, even in powder if not further processed. Particle size typically 100-300 mesh.
Dysprosium Metal Pieces
Dysprosium, a heavy rare-earth metal, in irregular pieces for magnet production to enhance high-temperature performance. HTS 2805.30.00 covers this as a pure rare-earth metal, not interalloyed beyond elemental form. Used in EV motors and defense systems.
Terbium Metal Rods
Terbium metal in cylindrical rod form, vital for phosphors in lighting and displays, and magneto-optic storage. Classified in HTS 2805.30.00 as a rare-earth metal in unwrought or simple shapes, per Chapter 28 definitions. High reactivity requires protective coating.
Mixed Rare-Earth Metal (Didymium) Ingots
Didymium ingots, a mixture of neodymium and praseodymium rare-earth metals, used in specialty glass coloring and welding lenses. HTS 2805.30.00 explicitly includes intermixed rare-earth metals in elemental form. Composition typically 75% Nd/25% Pr.
