HS Code 810520

HS code 810520 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Cobalt mattes and other intermediate products of cobalt metallurgy; cobalt and articles thereof, including waste and scrap : Cobalt mattes and other intermediate products of cobalt metallurgy; unwrought cobalt; powders". The first two digits (81) are the chapter — Other base metals; cermets; articles thereof — and digits 3-4 (8105) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 810520 include cobalt matte, cobalt powder, unwrought cobalt, cobalt intermediates and similar items matching cobalt mattes and other intermediate products of…. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (810520) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
