Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2846.90.40.00Same rate: Free

If rare-earth chlorides instead of oxides

Chlorides of rare-earths with yttrium/scandium predominant classify separately under 2846.90.20.30+.

3818.00.00Higher: 50% vs Free

If doped and processed into electronic wafers

Doped silicon or similar cut into discs falls in 3818 per chapter note on electronic forms.

7202.99Higher: 15% vs Free

If used in ferroalloys as additive

Ferroscandium or alloy forms shift to Chapter 72 iron/steel.
