HS Code for Molybdenum bars

Molybdenum bars and rods are classified under HS code 8102.95. This classification falls within Chapter 81, which covers other base metals, cermets, and articles thereof. Heading 8102 is dedicated specifically to molybdenum. The subheading 8102.95 is designated for wrought molybdenum products, including bars and rods (other than those obtained simply by sintering), as well as profiles, plates, sheets, strip, and foil. The distinction here is the level of processing; these items have undergone mechanical working such as rolling, forging, or drawing. This classification ensures that semi-finished molybdenum products used in high-temperature industrial applications, aerospace, and electronics are grouped together based on their physical form and metallurgical state.

Products Included

• Wrought molybdenum bars
• Molybdenum rods produced by forging or rolling
• Molybdenum plates and sheets
• Molybdenum foil and strip
• Molybdenum profiles and shapes

Common Misclassification

A frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 8102.94, which covers unwrought molybdenum, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering. If a bar has only been sintered and not further worked, it belongs in 8102.94. Additionally, molybdenum alloys are sometimes incorrectly classified under Chapter 72 or 73 (iron and steel) if the user assumes they are steel alloys; however, if molybdenum is the predominant metal by weight, it must remain in 8102.

FAQ

What is the HS code for molybdenum bars?

The HS code for wrought molybdenum bars is 8102.95. Sintered-only bars are classified under 8102.94.

Are molybdenum sheets classified under the same code?

Yes, HS code 8102.95 covers not only bars and rods but also plates, sheets, strip, and foil made of molybdenum.
