HSN code 8107 in India pertains to 'Cadmium and articles thereof, including waste and scrap'. This heading covers unwrought cadmium, its powders, and various articles made from this metal, as well as any cadmium-containing waste and scrap. For Indian procurement teams, accountants, and customs agents, correctly classifying materials under 8107 is vital for accurate customs duties, GST assessment, and inventory management. While MetaleMart's extensive catalog focuses on industrial metals like steel, aluminium, copper, and brass in various forms, understanding the classification of specialized metals like cadmium is important for sectors such as battery manufacturing, plating, and pigment production. Ensuring correct HSN application under 8107 avoids compliance issues and streamlines trade processes for cadmium-related goods.
What HSN 8107 Covers
HSN code 8107 specifically covers all forms of Cadmium, a chemical element with symbol Cd and atomic number 48. This includes unwrought cadmium, which is the primary refined metal form typically traded in ingots or pigs. It also encompasses cadmium powders used in various applications. Crucially, HSN 8107 includes manufactured articles made from cadmium, such as plates, sheets, bars, rods, wire, and anodes, commonly used in electroplating for corrosion resistance and in alloys. A significant portion of this heading is dedicated to cadmium waste and scrap, allowing for the recovery and recycling of the metal. This classification is vital for industries involved in battery production (especially Ni-Cd batteries), pigments, coatings, and specialized alloys. While MetaleMart focuses on a broader range of industrial metals, understanding 8107 is essential for compliance related to cadmium trade. Items *not* covered under 8107 include finished goods where cadmium is a minor component not affecting the essential character of the product, or alloys where cadmium is not the primary base metal, which may fall under other HSN codes. Proper classification ensures accurate duty and tax assessment.Common Materials & Grades under HSN 8107
- Unwrought Cadmium (Ingots, Pigs): Primary form of refined cadmium metal.
- Cadmium Powders: Fine particles of cadmium used in various industrial applications.
- Cadmium Waste and Scrap: Recoverable cadmium from industrial processes or end-of-life products.
- Cadmium Anodes: Used in electroplating processes for corrosion resistance.
- Cadmium Plates/Sheets: Rolled forms of cadmium metal.
- Cadmium Bars/Rods: Extruded or drawn forms of cadmium.
- Cadmium Wire: Drawn cadmium in thin filament form.
