HS-6 · Subheading
811241
Rhenium and articles thereof; unwrought, powders, waste and scrap
Heading 8112 — Beryllium, chromium, hafnium, rhenium, thallium, cadmium, germanium, vanadium, gallium, indium and niobium (columbium), articles of these metals, including waste and scrap
Chapter 81: Other base metals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 811241 when importing or exporting unwrought rhenium or rhenium powders. For example, if you're shipping rhenium metal in ingot form or as fine powders for use in electronics, this code is applicable.
This code specifically covers rhenium articles, distinguishing them from other metals like hafnium or cadmium, which fall under different HS-6 codes within the same heading. If you have products made from these metals, ensure you check their specific classifications.
Rhenium is often used in high-temperature superalloys and catalysts, making it crucial for aerospace and chemical industries. If you’re dealing with rhenium scrap or waste, this code also applies, but ensure you have proper documentation to support your classification.
When comparing HS-6 811241 with HS-6 811240, which covers rhenium waste and scrap, remember that the latter is strictly for recycled materials, while 811241 pertains to new, unwrought forms.
