U.S. exports of wrought gallium, indium, niobium, vanadium, germanium and articles thereof, nesoi (HS 811299) totaled $18.8M in July 2026.
Importers of Wrought Gallium, Indium, Niobium, Vanadium, Germanium and Articles Thereof, NESOI paid $540K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $3.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Wrought Gallium, Indium, Niobium, Vanadium, Germanium and Articles Thereof, NESOI imports of $7.9M in July 2026 ran 105% above the year-to-date monthly average of $3.9M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataWrought and fabricated articles of germanium (8112991000), vanadium (8112992000), and other worked forms of gallium, indium, and niobium (8112999100) represent the downstream, value-added tier of these critical metal supply chains. Germanium wafers and lenses for infrared optics and fiber optics, vanadium redox flow battery components, and precision-machined niobium parts for superconducting applications all fall within this heading. Germany and Belgium lead US imports, reflecting Europe's strong position in specialty metal refining and fabrication, with China also a significant source. Importers of wrought germanium or vanadium articles from China should verify current Section 301 tariff applicability.

Unwrought germanium — ingots, cast forms, and powders — is classified under the 811292 heading. Once germanium has been worked by rolling, drawing, or precision machining into a specific article such as a lens blank, wafer, or optical element, it moves to 8112991000 under this heading. The degree of shaping and the presence of a defined article form are the key classification criteria.
Wrought vanadium articles serve primarily the energy storage sector — particularly vanadium redox flow batteries used in grid-scale storage — as well as aerospace and defense applications where vanadium-titanium alloys are used in structural components. Specialty chemical catalyst applications also consume vanadium in fabricated forms. Demand from the energy storage sector has grown as grid-scale battery deployment has expanded.
