About HS Code 810210
This broad HS code covers various forms of molybdenum, including articles, waste, scrap, and powders. Molybdenum is a vital refractory metal known for its high melting point, strength at elevated temperatures, and excellent corrosion resistance, making it crucial in steel alloys, catalysts, and electronic components. International trade in these forms reflects the material's entire lifecycle, from raw powder to finished products and recycling. Major importers are typically countries with significant industrial demand, particularly in the automotive, chemical, energy, and electronics sectors. Exporters often include countries with substantial molybdenum mining operations or advanced processing capabilities. The trade is influenced by global industrial growth, technological advancements, and the strategic importance of molybdenum in high-performance applications, emphasizing both primary production and efficient recycling.
Products Under This Code
Molybdenum powder, Molybdenum electrodes, Molybdenum heating elements, Molybdenum sputtering targets, Molybdenum waste, Molybdenum alloy scrap, Molybdenum crucibles, Molybdenum contacts
Real World Examples
Plansee molybdenum electrodes, H.C. Starck molybdenum powder, Materion molybdenum sputtering targets, Molycorp molybdenum products, Climax Molybdenum alloys
Common Misclassification
Similar to tungsten, this broad code can lead to confusion with specific unwrought forms (810294) or wire (810296) if the 'articles' aspect isn't dominant, or if the waste/scrap is not clearly identified as molybdenum.
Products Classified Under 8102.10
Industry
This code belongs to the Metals & Metal Products industry.
Trade Overview
China is a dominant player in molybdenum production and trade, with significant imports and exports also involving the USA, Japan, and Germany due to their industrial demand.
