About heading 2846
Compounds, inorganic or organic, of rare-earth metals, of yttrium or of scandium, or of mixtures of these metals
Heading 2846 covers inorganic or organic compounds of rare-earth metals, yttrium, and scandium, including mixtures of these metals. The heading first separates cerium compounds from all other compounds. The other part is split by chemical form and composition, mainly rare-earth oxide or chloride mixtures, yttrium bearing materials, rare-earth carbonates, and residual other compounds.

Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for cerium oxide?
Cerium oxides are classified under 2846.10.00.10. The general (MFN) duty rate is 5.5%.
What is the duty on mixed rare-earth chlorides?
Mixtures of rare-earth chlorides other than cerium chlorides with yttrium or scandium as the predominant metal are classified under 2846.90.20.82, and the general (MFN) rate is Free. The residual rare-earth chloride mixture line 2846.90.20.84 also has a general (MFN) rate of Free.
How do I classify a lanthanum carbonate mixture?
A mixture of rare-earth carbonates other than cerium carbonate containing lanthanum as the predominant metal is classified under 2846.90.80.70. The general (MFN) duty rate is 3.7%.
