About HS Code 810419
This code covers magnesium in its raw, unworked form, specifically alloys or less pure grades (below 99.8% by weight). It's a crucial material in industries requiring lightweight and strong components, such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics. Major importers are countries with advanced manufacturing sectors, like Germany, Japan, and the USA, which process it into various parts. Exporters often include countries with significant magnesium production capabilities, such as China, Russia, and Israel. Key things to know include its high reactivity, requiring careful handling and storage, and its increasing demand due to the push for fuel efficiency and lighter consumer goods. The purity level is critical for its application, with this specific code focusing on industrial-grade alloys rather than ultra-pure forms. Trade in this commodity is influenced by global industrial output and technological advancements driving material innovation.
Products Under This Code
Magnesium ingots, Magnesium alloy billets, Magnesium alloy slabs, Magnesium granules (less than 99.8%), Magnesium alloy pigs, Magnesium alloy bars, Magnesium alloy chips
Real World Examples
AZ91D magnesium alloy ingots, AM50A magnesium alloy billets, Elektron 21 magnesium alloy, Mag-Lite magnesium alloy components (raw material), Dead Sea Magnesium ingots
Common Misclassification
This code can be confused with 810411 (unwrought magnesium, 99.8% or more pure) due to the similar "unwrought magnesium" description, but the key differentiator is the purity level. It might also be confused with 810430 (magnesium waste and scrap) if the material is not clearly identified as primary unwrought metal.
Products Classified Under 8104.19
Industry
This code belongs to the Metals & Metal Products industry.
Trade Overview
Top importers include Germany, Japan, and the USA, while top exporters are China, Russia, and Israel.
