U.S. exports of wrought tungsten, nesoi (HS 810199) totaled $7.7M in July 2026.
Importers of Wrought Tungsten, NESOI paid $1.3M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 22% on $5.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataMechanically worked tungsten products — including drawn, rolled, swaged, or otherwise deformed forms not covered by the wire subheading — are classified here, with the US schedule distinguishing bars and rods (excluding sintered) and other profiles, plate, sheet, strip, and foil under 8101991000 from remaining wrought forms under 8101998000. China is the leading supplier, with Austria and Germany also significant sources; Austria in particular is home to a major integrated tungsten producer whose wrought products are widely used in aerospace, electronics, and high-temperature industrial applications. China-origin wrought tungsten is subject to Section 301 tariffs.

After sintering, tungsten blanks are mechanically worked — typically by rotary swaging, rolling, or drawing — which refines the grain structure and imparts directional mechanical properties. This mechanical deformation is what distinguishes wrought tungsten (8101991000 or 8101998000) from sintered-only unwrought forms (8101940000). Suppliers should provide a process declaration confirming the post-sinter working steps to support the correct classification.
Wrought tungsten sheet and plate are used in radiation shielding for medical and nuclear applications, high-temperature furnace components, sputtering targets for semiconductor thin-film deposition, and aerospace heat shields. The tight dimensional tolerances and surface-finish requirements for these applications mean that buyers typically qualify specific suppliers, making supply-chain switching costly and slow.
