Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If neither yttrium nor scandium predominates individually but combined
Statistical suffixes distinguish predominance; may fall to other rare-earth chloride if not Y/Sc dominant.
If contains phosphides or other Chapter 28 inclusions
Heading 2853 covers other rare-earth compounds like phosphides, excluding simple chlorides.
If for technical grade impure blends
Impure chemical mixtures not meeting 'chemically defined' criteria go to 3824 preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document exact molar ratios proving predominance; customs may request rare-earth speciation
• Use sealed, desiccated containers; chlorides are highly reactive with moisture
• Avoid declaring as 'mixture of oxides' which shifts to 2846.90.40; specify chloride form

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.
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.
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.
