CHAPTER

81 — Other base metals; cermets; articles thereof

In plain English

This category covers magnesium in various forms, including raw materials and finished items, as well as waste and scrap. Raw magnesium is separated based on purity, distinguishing between material that is at least 99.8 percent pure and that which is less pure. Other classifications include processed forms like graded raspings, turnings, granules, and powders, alongside any other magnesium articles not specifically listed elsewhere in this section.
