HS Code for Molybdenum sheets

HS code 8102.95 is designated for molybdenum products that have undergone mechanical working, including bars and rods (other than those simply sintered), profiles, plates, sheets, strip, and foil. Unlike the unwrought forms, these products are the result of secondary manufacturing processes such as hot or cold rolling, forging, or extrusion. Molybdenum sheets are flat-rolled products of a thickness typically exceeding 0.15mm, whereas thinner versions are classified as foil. The classification under 8102.95 is determined by the physical shape and the degree of processing. Because molybdenum is valued for its high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance, these sheets are often used in vacuum furnaces, semiconductor components, and aerospace applications. The Harmonized System distinguishes between "simply sintered" (8102.94) and "worked" (8102.95) to reflect the added value and change in physical properties resulting from mechanical deformation. To be classified here, the sheets must not be further worked into specific articles that would fall under 8102.99. The metallurgical state is usually "worked," meaning the internal grain structure has been elongated or refined through mechanical pressure. This code is essential for tracking the trade of semi-finished molybdenum products used in industrial manufacturing.

Products Included

• Cold-rolled molybdenum sheets
• Hot-rolled molybdenum plates
• Molybdenum strip
• Molybdenum foil (thicker than 0.15mm)
• Worked molybdenum profiles

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 8102.94, which is for unwrought or sintered forms. If a sheet has been rolled, it must be 8102.95. Additionally, finished articles made from molybdenum sheets, such as crucibles or heating elements, should be classified under 8102.99 rather than 8102.95.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Molybdenum sheets?
