Sintered Samarium-Cobalt Arc Magnet from China

A high-performance arc-shaped permanent magnet made from sintered samarium-cobalt alloy, offering exceptional magnetic strength and temperature stability up to 350°C. Classified under HTS 8505.11.0050 due to its sintered metal composition specifically using samarium-cobalt materials for applications requiring resistance to demagnetization.

Import Tips

Verify material certification confirming sintered samarium-cobalt composition to avoid reclassification to neodymium magnets (8505.11.0070)

Provide magnetization certificates if imported pre-magnetized, as 'articles intended to become permanent magnets' must be clearly documented

Ensure RoHS compliance documentation, as rare-earth magnets may contain trace hazardous substances subject to EU REACH equivalents
