HS-4 · Heading
8102 — Molybdenum; articles thereof, including waste and scrap
Chapter 81: Other base metals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 8102 when importing molybdenum products, such as powders or bars. For example, if you’re bringing in molybdenum powder for use in high-temperature applications, this heading applies directly to your shipment.
When deciding among the HS-6 subheadings, consider the form of molybdenum you have. If it’s unwrought and simply sintered, use HS-6 810294. However, if your product includes bars and rods that are not just sintered, you’ll need HS-6 810295.
If your shipment consists of molybdenum wire, it falls under HS-6 810296. For scrap or waste material, refer to HS-6 810297. Each subheading is specific to the product's form and processing method, so choose carefully based on your actual goods.
