HS HEADING 8102

Molybdenum; articles thereof, including waste and scrap

In plain English

This category covers molybdenum and its related items, such as waste and scrap. The goods are separated into specific groups based on their physical form. These forms include powders, unwrought materials like bars and rods made by sintering, other shaped items like profiles and foil, wire, and waste. Any other molybdenum articles not listed in these specific forms fall into the final group.
