Chapter 81: Other base metals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 811249 when importing or exporting rhenium articles that are wrought and not in powder form. For example, rhenium wires used in high-temperature applications fall under this code.
This code specifically covers wrought rhenium products, distinguishing them from HS-6 811240, which pertains to rhenium powders. If you’re dealing with rhenium scrap, you would look at HS-6 811299 instead.
Rhenium is often used in aerospace and electronics due to its high melting point and resistance to wear. Common items classified under this code include rhenium rods, sheets, and various forms of wire.
When considering rhenium articles, ensure that they are in a wrought form, as this classification does not apply to rhenium in powder or scrap form. This distinction is crucial for compliance and accurate tariff classification.
