Product classification
HS code for Molybdenum bars: 8102.95
Molybdenum, bars and rods, other than those obtained simply by sintering, profiles, plates, sheets, strip and foil.
Classification of molybdenum bars under HS 8102.95
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.

Codes often confused with 8102.95
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS 810295 (the code used for molybdenum bars), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 810295 (the code used for molybdenum bars) 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).
