Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fabricated into optical scintillator elements
Chapter note (h) excludes optical elements of metal halides from Chapter 28.
If containing radioactive isotopes
Natural/artificial radioactive isotopes or compounds classify in 2844 per specific note.
If doped for electronic applications beyond unworked form
Doped chemical elements in worked forms shift to 3818 or preparations in 3824.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify crystal purity to exclude from 3824 as 'cultured crystals' weighing under 2.5g
• Declare end-use if for electronics to avoid scrutiny under doped elements note
• Include radiation safety declarations if scintillator grade
