HS Code 8102.95 – Molybdenum; bars and rods, other than those obtained simply by sintering, profiles, plates, sheets, strip and foil
HS code 8102.95 is the 6-digit subheading for molybdenum, bars and rods, other than those obtained simply by sintering, profiles, plates, sheets, strip and foil. It is used for molybdenum bars, molybdenum rods, molybdenum plates, molybdenum sheets and molybdenum strips.
What HS 8102.95 covers
This code covers semi-finished molybdenum products that have undergone further processing beyond simple sintering, such as bars, rods, profiles, plates, sheets, strip, and foil. These forms are crucial for industries requiring high-temperature resistance, strength, and corrosion resistance. Major importers are typically advanced manufacturing nations with strong aerospace, defense, electronics, and chemical processing sectors, such as Germany, Japan, and the United States. Exporters often include countries with significant molybdenum mining and refining capabilities, like China, Chile, and the United States, or those with specialized metallurgical industries. Key things to know include the material's high melting point, excellent strength at elevated temperatures, and its use in critical applications where other metals fail. The trade in these forms reflects global industrial demand for high-performance materials in demanding environments, from furnace components to sputtering targets and medical devices. The purity and specific alloy composition are critical factors influencing trade value and application.

Codes often confused with 8102.95
Common mistake. This code might be confused with 810210 (unwrought molybdenum) if the processing level isn't clearly defined, or with 810299 (other molybdenum articles) if the product form is unusual.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 810295, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 810295 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 40% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was South Korea, with 22% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
