HS-6 · Subheading
810590
Cobalt; articles n.e.c. in heading no. 8105
Heading 8105 — Cobalt; mattes and other intermediate products of cobalt metallurgy, cobalt and articles thereof, including waste and scrap
Chapter 81: Other base metals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 810590 when importing or exporting cobalt articles that don’t fit into other specific categories. For example, this code applies to cobalt-based alloys or specialty cobalt tools.
This line specifically covers cobalt articles not classified elsewhere in heading 8105. Unlike HS-6 810591, which deals with cobalt powders, 810590 includes items like cobalt-coated tools or custom cobalt components.
When dealing with cobalt products, it’s crucial to differentiate between those that are pure cobalt and those that incorporate cobalt as part of an alloy or composite material. For instance, cobalt-based superalloys would fall under this code.
If you're unsure whether your product fits under HS-6 810590, consider its composition and intended use. Items like cobalt scrap or waste would typically be classified under different HS codes.
