Last updated: April 2026 dataSintered molybdenum in unwrought form — including bars and rods produced by powder-metallurgy sintering rather than melting — is a critical feedstock for high-temperature alloy and specialty steel applications. Imports enter under a single 10-digit line, 8102940000, and Chinese-origin material is subject to Section 301 tariffs, a significant duty consideration given that China is the leading supplier. Uzbekistan and Canada are also notable sources, offering importers some geographic diversification from Section 301 exposure.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The key classification distinction is that bars and rods under 8102940000 must be obtained *simply by sintering* — a powder-metallurgy process — rather than by melting and casting or mechanical working. Material that has undergone further hot- or cold-working after sintering may shift to a different subheading covering wrought or further-processed forms.
Yes. Sintered molybdenum imported from China is subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard MFN duty. Importers sourcing from Uzbekistan or Canada can avoid Section 301 exposure, though USMCA origin rules must be satisfied for Canadian material.
