810320

Tantalum; unwrought, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering, powders

Heading 8103Tantalum; articles thereof, including waste and scrap

Chapter 81: Other base metals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 810320 when importing or exporting unwrought tantalum, which includes forms like bars, rods, and powders. For instance, if you’re shipping tantalum bars obtained through sintering, this code applies directly to your shipment.

This HS-6 line specifically covers tantalum in its unwrought state, distinguishing it from HS-6 810310, which pertains to tantalum waste and scrap. If your product is not waste but rather a solid form like a bar or rod, then 810320 is the correct classification.

Tantalum is a high-value metal often used in electronics and aerospace applications. If you are dealing with tantalum powders for capacitors or bars for high-temperature applications, 810320 is the appropriate code.

When considering tantalum products, remember that HS-6 810330 covers wrought tantalum articles. If your product is processed or shaped, you would need to look at that code instead.
