810411

Magnesium; unwrought, containing at least 99.8% by weight of magnesium

Heading 8104Magnesium; articles thereof, including waste and scrap

Chapter 81: Other base metals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 810411 when importing or exporting unwrought magnesium that contains at least 99.8% magnesium by weight. This high-purity magnesium is often used in aerospace and automotive applications, such as lightweight components and alloys.

This code specifically targets unwrought magnesium, distinguishing it from other forms like magnesium alloys or scrap. For instance, HS-6 810419 covers unwrought magnesium with lower purity levels or different compositions.

When classifying unwrought magnesium, it's essential to ensure that it meets the purity requirement of 99.8%. If your shipment includes magnesium with lower purity or mixed with other metals, you may need to consider alternative codes.

Understanding the specific applications of this high-purity magnesium can help in determining its correct classification. It is commonly found in products like engine components, aircraft parts, and even in some electronics.

Questions & answers

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

What does HS-6 810411 cover?
HS-6 810411 covers unwrought magnesium containing at least 99.8% magnesium by weight, primarily used in high-performance applications.
How can I verify the purity of magnesium for classification?
You can verify purity through lab testing or certification documents from the supplier that confirm the magnesium content.
What is the difference between HS-6 810411 and HS-6 810419?
HS-6 810411 is for high-purity unwrought magnesium, while HS-6 810419 includes unwrought magnesium with lower purity or different compositions.
Are there specific packaging requirements for shipping unwrought magnesium?
Yes, unwrought magnesium should be packaged to prevent contamination and oxidation, often in sealed containers or inert atmospheres.
Can I import magnesium with less than 99.8% purity using HS-6 810411?
No, HS-6 810411 specifically requires a minimum purity of 99.8%. Lower purity magnesium should be classified under a different code.
What industries commonly use unwrought magnesium?
Unwrought magnesium is commonly used in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and chemical industries due to its lightweight and strength properties.
Do I need a special permit to import unwrought magnesium?
Import regulations can vary by country, so check with your customs authority to see if any special permits or licenses are required.
What are the customs duties for importing HS-6 810411?
Customs duties for HS-6 810411 depend on the importing country’s tariff schedule, so consult your customs broker for specific rates.
