Chapter 81: Other Base Metals
Chapter 81 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) covers a range of materials categorized as "Other Base Metals," including cermets and related articles. This chapter includes various metal alloys and compounds that do not fall under the primary metal categories like iron or steel. Common examples of products in this chapter are titanium, cobalt, nickel, and cermets, which are composite materials made from ceramic and metallic compounds. Industries that frequently import these goods include aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and electronics, where specialized materials are essential for manufacturing high-performance components. Importers should be aware of common regulatory considerations, such as compliance with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and possible tariffs that may apply, depending on the country of origin. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure proper classification of the goods to avoid delays or penalties during the customs clearance process. By understanding the nuances of Chapter 81, businesses can streamline their import operations and ensure compliance with U.S. trade regulations.
