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

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