Last updated: July 2026 dataUnwrought cadmium including powders (8112691000) and wrought cadmium articles not elsewhere specified (8112699000) serve as inputs for nickel-cadmium battery electrodes, cadmium-based pigments, stabilizers for PVC, and electroplating applications. Canada leads US imports of this heading, followed by Australia and China. Cadmium is subject to increasing regulatory scrutiny globally — including RoHS restrictions in electronics — so importers of cadmium-containing articles should assess end-use compliance requirements in addition to customs classification. Shipments from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the specific article form.

HTS 8112691000 covers unwrought cadmium including powders — primary metal not yet shaped into a specific article — while 8112699000 covers cadmium that has been wrought (drawn, rolled, extruded, etc.) and finished articles of cadmium not classified elsewhere. Correct line selection depends on the degree of processing and the form of the imported material.
While US customs classification does not itself restrict end use, cadmium is subject to EPA Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) reporting requirements and is restricted in certain electronic applications under international standards that US manufacturers increasingly adopt. Importers supplying the electronics or consumer goods sectors should verify that cadmium-containing articles comply with applicable product safety and chemical regulations in the intended downstream market.
