Chapter81 : Other base metals; cermets; articles thereof
Subheading Note. 1. Note 1 to Chapter 74, defining "bars and rods", "profiles", "wire" and "plates, sheets, strip and foil" applies, mutatis mutandis, to this Chapter. GENERAL This Chapter is limited to the following base metals, their alloys, and articles thereof which are not more specifically covered elsewhere in the Nomenclature : (A) Tungsten (wolfram) (heading 81.01), molybdenum (heading 81.02), tantalum (heading 81.03), magnesium (heading 81.04), cobalt, including cobalt mattes and other intermediate products of cobalt metallurgy (heading 81.05), bismuth (heading 81.06), cadmium (heading 81.07), titanium (heading 81.08), zirconium (heading 81.09), antimony (heading 81.10) and manganese (heading 81.11). (B) Beryllium, chromium, germanium, vanadium, gallium, hafnium, indium, niobium (colombium), rhenium and thallium (heading 81.12). This Chapter also covers cermets (heading 81.13). Base metals not included in this Chapter or in the preceding Chapters of Section XV are classified in Chapter 28. Most of the metals classified in this Chapter are mainly used in the form of alloys or carbides, rather than in the pure state. The classification of such alloys follows the rules set out in Note 5 to Section XV; metal carbides are excluded from this Chapter. The classification of composite goods, particularly made up articles, is explained in the General Explanatory Note to Section XV. Note 8 to Section XV defines "waste and scrap" and "powders".
