Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If cerium is the predominant rare-earth metal
Mixtures where cerium carbonate predominates shift to the specific cerium subheading 2846.10, distinct from lanthanum-dominant mixes.
If the mixture includes significant yttrium or scandium carbonates
Yttrium or scandium predominant mixtures have separate provisions in 2846.90.40, per hierarchy excluding them from lanthanum-specific 2846.90.80.70.
If mineral-derived and used as fertilizer additive
Certain rare-earth carbonates for agricultural use may fall under Chapter 31 note exclusions if qualifying as fertilizers, not pure chemical compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide spectroscopic analysis confirming La predominance; obtain export licenses from origin if from China
• Avoid classifying as ore residue (2615.90) which is for unrefined materials
