Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 810610 when importing or exporting bismuth articles that contain more than 99.99% bismuth by weight. This includes products like pure bismuth ingots or scrap metal. Accurate classification ensures compliance and smooth customs clearance.
This code is specific to high-purity bismuth, distinguishing it from HS-6 810620, which covers bismuth articles with lower purity levels. If your shipment includes bismuth that is not over 99.99% pure, you should consider the other subheading.
Bismuth is often used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and as a non-toxic alternative in various applications. When classifying your products, ensure that the bismuth content is verified, as this will determine the correct HS code.
If you are dealing with bismuth scrap, it must also meet the purity requirement of over 99.99% to qualify under this HS-6. Otherwise, you may need to look into other classifications.
