Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If a mixture of multiple rare-earth oxides
Mixtures of rare-earth oxides have separate statistical suffix; pure compounds are 'other'.
If used as luminophore pigment
Chapter note excludes inorganic luminophores to heading 3206.
If in the form of rare-earth chlorides
Chlorides of rare-earths classified separately from oxides.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Require spectrographic analysis to prove single rare-earth composition avoiding 'mixtures' subheading
• Label as 'chemically defined' with CAS number (1306-38-3) for customs clearance
• Avoid retail packaging over 1kg to prevent reclassification as preparations in 3824
