SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of wrought molybdenum and molybdenum articles (SITC 69992) totaled $3.3M in April 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Importers of Wrought Molybdenum and Molybdenum Articles paid $585K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $3.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Wrought Molybdenum and Molybdenum Articles imports of $3.3M in April 2026 ran 21% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.7M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMolybdenum's high melting point, strength at elevated temperatures, and low thermal expansion make wrought forms — sheet, plate, rod, and wire — critical inputs for steel alloying, furnace components, and semiconductor sputtering targets. The wrought and articles category captures downstream processed material beyond unwrought or powder forms, and classification hinges on whether the product has been mechanically worked to a defined shape. Supply concentration in China and a handful of other producers means procurement teams should monitor any trade-remedy developments affecting this heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Wrought molybdenum has undergone mechanical working — rolling, drawing, forging, or sintering followed by working — resulting in a product with controlled dimensions and improved mechanical properties. Unwrought molybdenum includes ingots, billets, and similar primary forms, while molybdenum powder classifies separately. Importers should retain production records or mill certifications confirming the working process to support the correct classification.
Wrought molybdenum serves steel and superalloy producers (as an alloying addition), electronics manufacturers (sputtering targets for thin-film deposition), and high-temperature furnace builders (heating elements and structural parts). Each end-use sector has distinct specification requirements — purity levels, dimensional tolerances, and surface finish — so importers should align procurement specifications with end-user standards before placing orders to avoid costly rework or rejection at goods receipt.
