Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate and chemical analysis to confirm classification as chemically defined rare-earth compound per Chapter 28/29 notes
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and REACH compliance docs for EU-origin materials to avoid customs delays
• Avoid misclassification as a finished magnet (8505.11); ship as pure oxide powder only
