Importers of Molybdenum Bars, Rods (Non-Sintered), Profiles, Plates, Sheets, Strip & Foil paid $321K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 10.93% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Molybdenum Bars, Rods (Non-Sintered), Profiles, Plates, Sheets, Strip & Foil imports of $2.9M in August 2026 ran 41% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.1M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataProduced by melting, casting, or mechanical working rather than simple sintering, these wrought molybdenum mill products serve the semiconductor, furnace-component, and aerospace industries where precise dimensional tolerances and high purity are required. The US schedule distinguishes bars and rods (8102953000) from flat-rolled forms — plates, sheets, strip, and foil (8102956000) — a split that matters for both duty treatment and end-use specification. Austria and China are the dominant suppliers, with Germany, India, and Japan rounding out the source base; Austrian-origin material benefits from established European specialty-metals processing expertise.

The critical dividing line is the production route: 8102940000 covers bars and rods obtained *simply by sintering*, while 8102953000 covers bars and rods produced by any other method — typically melting and casting followed by rolling, forging, or drawing. The resulting material often has different grain structure and dimensional characteristics relevant to end-use qualification.
Under the US schedule, plates, sheets, strip, and foil are all consolidated into 8102956000. However, importers should verify thickness and width specifications carefully, as customs may scrutinize whether a product meets the dimensional thresholds that distinguish foil from strip or sheet under the relevant tariff notes.
