2842.90Higher: 13.3% vs Free

If classified as complex salts rather than simple chlorides

Double or complex rare-earth salts may fall under 2842 per Chapter Note 5, rather than simple chlorides of 2846.

3824.99Higher: 15% vs Free

If impure mixture used as reagent, not chemically defined

Non-chemically defined preparations fall under 3824 chemical preparations, excluding pure compounds of Chapter 28.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit detailed composition analysis proving Y/Sc >50% total rare-earths; critical for predominant metal determination

Ensure UN-approved packaging for corrosive chlorides; label with GHS pictograms
