Lithium Molybdate Crystals from Germany
Lithium molybdate (Li2MoO4) crystals serve as scintillators in radiation detectors and high-temperature electrolytes. Under HTS 2841.70.5000, it is an 'other' molybdate salt of an oxometallic acid, excluded from optical elements per Chapter notes.

Import Tips
• 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
