About HS Code 811229
This HS code covers wrought chromium and articles made from chromium, excluding waste and scrap. "Wrought" refers to chromium that has been shaped or processed through methods like rolling, drawing, or extruding into forms such as rods, plates, sheets, or finished components. These forms are highly valued for their exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal, making them indispensable in applications ranging from high-performance alloys and specialized tools to decorative finishes and industrial equipment. Major importers are countries with advanced manufacturing sectors, including the United States, Germany, Japan, and other European nations, which require these specialized chromium products for their industries. Exporters are typically countries with the technological capability to process raw chromium into these complex wrought forms. Key aspects of this trade include the high-quality standards required for these products, their niche applications, and the value added through sophisticated manufacturing processes.
Products Under This Code
Chromium rods, Chromium plates, Chromium sheets, Chromium foils, Chromium wires, Chromium sputtering targets, Chromium electrodes
Real World Examples
Plansee's chromium sputtering targets, Goodfellow's chromium foils, specialized manufacturers of chromium-based tools and components
Common Misclassification
This code is for wrought chromium and articles, distinct from unwrought chromium (811221) and chromium waste/scrap (811222). Misclassification can occur if the material is in a primary, unprocessed form or if it is clearly identifiable as scrap.
Products Classified Under 8112.29
Industry
This code belongs to the Metals & Metal Products industry.
Trade Overview
The United States, Germany, and Japan are major importers of wrought chromium articles, with countries possessing advanced metal processing capabilities as key exporters.
