Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2846.10.00Higher: 5.5% vs 3.7%

If cerium carbonate is included in the mixture

Mixtures containing cerium carbonate shift to 2846.10, the specific subheading for cerium compounds before 'other' categories.

2827.39.60.00Higher: 29.2% vs 3.7%

If processed into rare-earth chlorides instead of carbonates

Chlorides, oxychlorides, and fluorides of rare-earths fall under 2827, changing classification based on anion per Chapter 28 structure.

3815.90.20.00Higher: 37.8% vs 3.7%

If supplied as a catalyst preparation for industrial use

Rare-earth carbonate mixtures formulated as supported catalysts become 'catalytic preparations' in 3815, not pure compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance

Declare exact oxide equivalent (REO) content on commercial invoice, as buyers often specify purity levels for magnet production

Comply with US Rare Earth Element import tracking; retain supplier affidavits confirming no cerium content to match subheading

Watch for anti-dumping duties on Chinese origins; use HTS lookup tools and consult CBP for binding rulings on mixtures
