CHAPTER

81 — Other base metals; cermets; articles thereof

In plain English

This category covers tungsten, also known as wolfram, along with any items made from it, including discarded pieces and scrap material. The specific types of goods are separated into distinct groups based on their form and condition. One group includes powdered tungsten, while another covers raw materials such as bars and rods created through sintering. Additional divisions distinguish between tungsten wire, waste and scrap, and other tungsten articles not listed elsewhere in this section.

Chapter 81 classification notes

Chapter 81 includes conflict minerals (3T — tungsten, tantalum, tin) under Dodd-Frank Section 1502 due-diligence; tantalum-bearing devices need supply-chain documentation.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Cobalt powder (8105) vs. cobalt salts (Chapter 28 inorganic chemistry).

Classification certainty
