Last updated: April 2026 dataElectrolytic manganese metal and high-purity unwrought forms are critical inputs for steel alloys, lithium-ion battery cathodes, and aluminum production, making this heading commercially significant across multiple heavy industries. The US schedule subdivides the heading into waste and scrap (8111003000), high-purity flake at least 99.5% Mn (8111004700), high-purity powder (8111004910), other unwrought manganese (8111004990), and wrought forms (8111006000) — purity thresholds drive classification. China dominates supply, with South Africa and Indonesia also among the leading sources; importers sourcing from China should assess Section 301 tariff exposure on applicable lines.

Lines 8111004700 (flake) and 8111004910 (powder) both require manganese content of at least 99.5% by weight. Material that does not meet this threshold falls into the residual unwrought line 8111004990. Importers should obtain mill certificates or assay reports confirming purity before filing entry.
Manganese metal imports from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the specific 10-digit HTS line. Importers should review the current Section 301 product lists and any applicable exclusions with a licensed customs broker before shipment, as coverage and exclusion status can change.
