CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Superconducting Magnet Assembly from China

A superconducting dipole magnet used in the CERN Large Hadron Collider to accelerate protons to near-light speeds through electromagnetic fields. It falls under HTS 8543.10.00.00 as a core component of a particle accelerator designed for high-energy physics research. These magnets generate the precise magnetic fields required for particle beam guidance.

Import Tips

Obtain export licenses from origin country due to dual-use technology controls under Wassenaar Arrangement

Provide detailed technical specifications and end-user certificates to prove research-only application

Verify cryogenic compatibility for superconducting components during customs valuation
