Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If flexible bonded alnico with polymer binder
Bonded/flexible forms with non-metal binders classify as other non-metal magnet articles
If for decorative or toy horse shoe shapes
Primarily ornamental metal articles shift to Chapter 73 rather than functional magnets
If alloy contains copper or specified additives
Certain copper-containing magnet alloys have dedicated subheadings

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include alloy composition certificate (Al-Ni-Co-Fe) to avoid confusion with flexible magnets
• For educational sets, ensure magnets are primary component or risk set classification under 9503
• Test for residual magnetism; fully demagnetized imports must declare 'for magnetization'
