Neodymium N52 Block Magnets from Mexico
High-strength neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) block magnets graded N52, intended for magnetization to create powerful permanent magnets used in motors and sensors. These fall under HTS 8505.19.3000 as articles designed to become permanent magnets after magnetization, excluding ceramic or ferrite types. They are raw magnet material requiring post-import activation.

Import Tips
• Verify magnet composition via material safety data sheets to confirm NdFeB classification and avoid reclassification as finished assemblies
• Include magnetization process certification if importing unmagnetized to qualify under 'articles intended to become permanent magnets'
• Watch for demagnetization risks during shipping; use proper shielding to prevent customs inspection issues
