Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If rare earth compounds dominate chemically
Chemically defined compounds of rare-earths exclude from Chapter 36 per note 1.
If for non-pyrophoric ferrocerium in steelmaking
Ferrocerium used as deoxidizer classifies as ferroalloys under Chapter 72.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide melting point and ignition temp certs to confirm pyrophoric nature
• Bulk shipments need anti-static containers to prevent dust ignition
