High-Purity Yttrium Chloride
99.99% pure yttrium chloride (YCl3) for electronics and photonics applications, with yttrium as the sole predominant rare-earth metal. HTS 2846.90.20.82 covers this as a rare-earth chloride excluding cerium compounds. Essential for doping materials in LEDs and superconductors.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If includes organic complexes
Organic rare-earth compounds fall under 2846.90.80 per Chapter Note, separate from inorganic chlorides.
If reclassified as rare-earth complex salt
Certain complex rare-earth salts may go to 2833 other sulfates, but chlorides remain in 2846.
If used exclusively as luminophore inorganic product
Chapter Note excludes luminophores of 3206 from Chapter 28, even if rare-earth based.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Require lot-specific purity certificates (ICP-MS analysis) to confirm >99% yttrium and no cerium
• Ship under argon to maintain purity; declare as 'chemically defined' compound

Yttrium Chloride Hexahydrate
Yttrium chloride hexahydrate (YCl3·6H2O) is a chemically defined inorganic compound where yttrium is the predominant rare-earth metal, supplied as white crystalline powder or flakes. It falls under HTS 2846.90.20.82 as a rare-earth chloride containing yttrium as the predominant metal, distinct from cerium chlorides. Used in phosphors, ceramics, and as a precursor for yttrium-based materials.
Scandium Chloride Anhydrous
Anhydrous scandium chloride (ScCl3) is a white to pale yellow powder where scandium serves as the predominant rare-earth metal in this chemically defined compound. Classified under HTS 2846.90.20.82 for rare-earth chlorides (except cerium) with scandium predominant. Primarily used in solid oxide fuel cells and high-strength alloys.
Scandium-Yttrium Chloride Precursor Blend
Optimized blend of scandium and yttrium chlorides (Sc:Y = 1:10) as predominant metals for sol-gel synthesis of ceramics. Classifies under HTS 2846.90.20.82 for yttrium/scandium predominant rare-earth chlorides. Used in thin-film deposition for aerospace components.
Yttrium-Scandium Mixed Chloride
A chloride mixture of rare-earth metals where yttrium and scandium together constitute the predominant metals (e.g., 60% Y, 30% Sc), excluding cerium. Falls under HTS 2846.90.20.82 as rare-earth chlorides with yttrium/scandium predominance. Applied in advanced ceramics and laser materials.
