HS-6 · Subheading

810194

Tungsten (wolfram); unwrought, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering

Heading 8101Tungsten (wolfram); articles thereof, including waste and scrap

Chapter 81: Other base metals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 810194 when importing or exporting unwrought tungsten, such as bars and rods that are produced through sintering. For example, a shipment of tungsten rods used in manufacturing high-temperature applications would fall under this code.

This code specifically applies to tungsten that has not been further processed beyond sintering, distinguishing it from HS-6 810196, which covers tungsten waste and scrap. If you're dealing with raw tungsten forms, this is the correct classification.

Tungsten products classified under this HS-6 are essential in industries requiring materials with high melting points, such as aerospace and electronics. Understanding the nuances of this classification can help avoid costly customs delays.

When considering tungsten imports, be aware that other codes in this heading may apply to different forms or processing stages. Always check if your product meets the unwrought criteria to ensure compliance.

Questions & answers

For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.

What types of tungsten products does HS-6 810194 cover?
HS-6 810194 covers unwrought tungsten, specifically bars and rods obtained through sintering, used in various high-temperature applications.
How do I know if my tungsten product is unwrought?
If your tungsten product has only been sintered and not further processed, it qualifies as unwrought and falls under HS-6 810194.
Can I use HS-6 810194 for tungsten scrap?
No, tungsten scrap should be classified under HS-6 810196, which is specifically for waste and scrap materials.
What industries use unwrought tungsten?
Unwrought tungsten is commonly used in aerospace, electronics, and manufacturing industries, particularly for high-temperature applications.
What documentation do I need for tungsten imports?
You will need a commercial invoice, packing list, and possibly a certificate of origin or compliance, depending on your destination country's regulations.
Is there a difference between tungsten bars and rods?
In the context of HS-6 810194, both tungsten bars and rods are considered unwrought as long as they are produced through sintering.
How can I avoid customs issues with tungsten imports?
Ensure accurate classification under the correct HS code, provide complete documentation, and verify compliance with import regulations in your country.
What are the key characteristics of tungsten that make it valuable?
Tungsten has a high melting point, excellent thermal conductivity, and density, making it ideal for applications in extreme conditions.
