HS Code 8113Cermets; articles thereof, including waste and scrap

What does HS code 8113 represent?

Heading 8113 sits in Chapter 81, which is titled Metals; n.e.c., cermets and articles thereof.

The heading has three parts in its wording. It names cermets themselves. It names articles made from cermets. And it names waste and scrap of cermets. All three are classified together, so you do not need to choose between them at the heading level.

The name cermets appears in the Harmonized System, which is the customs tariff classification used by members of the World Customs Organization. Because the wording is shared worldwide, the same heading is used when a cermet product is shipped from one country to another. Some countries call this an HSN code, but the heading number is the same.

• Cermets as a material
• Articles of cermets
• Cermet waste and scrap

Cermets HS code 8113 vs other Chapter 81 headings

Most headings near 8113 are about one named metal. Heading 8101 is for tungsten. Heading 8108 is for titanium. Heading 8112 groups a list of metals, such as beryllium, chromium and niobium. Each of these headings also covers articles, waste and scrap of that metal.

Heading 8113 is different because it is about cermets, not a single metal. So the first question is simple: is your product a plain metal, or is it a cermet? Plain metals go to the heading for that metal. Cermets go to 8113.

Be careful with scrap. Scrap of a named metal stays with that metal's heading. Scrap of cermets stays with 8113. The material decides the heading, not the fact that the goods are waste.

If you are not sure which heading fits, open the chapter page and read the descriptions side by side. You can also browse all HS code chapters to see how Section XV is laid out.

How to classify cermet products correctly

Good classification goes from the wide level to the narrow level. Follow these steps in order.

First, confirm the chapter. Your goods should be a metal or a cermet, which points to Chapter 81. Second, pick the heading. If the goods are cermets, articles of cermets, or cermet waste and scrap, the heading is 8113. Third, take the code under the heading. For 8113 that is 811300.

Many countries add more digits to the end of the world-standard code for their own tariff. Those extra digits differ from country to country, and they are not shown on this page. Check the rules of the country you ship to before you file a declaration.

If your product is hard to place, try the HS code classifier. Write down what the product is made of and what it is used for. Keep that note with your invoice, because customs offices often ask for it.

Customs records show who moved a product, where it went, and how it was declared. For cermets, that helps you spot new buyers, check a rival's reach, or find a supplier you have not met yet. We do not show shipment totals or trade values on this page. Those live in the records themselves.
