Magnesium; articles n.e.c. in heading no. 8104

hs code 810490 covers a diverse range of magnesium-based products and articles that do not fall under any other specific heading in the Harmonized System (HS) classification. Magnesium is a lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant metal with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. The 810490 category plays a crucial role in various sectors, including transportation, construction, electronics, and consumer goods, contributing to the broader global economy.

The production of articles covered under hs code 810490 typically involves various metalworking techniques, such as casting, forging, machining, and fabrication. Magnesium is extracted from natural sources, such as seawater or mineral deposits, and then refined and alloyed to achieve the desired properties. Manufacturers use these techniques to shape and form the magnesium into a wide array of products, ranging from simple components to complex assemblies.

The main inputs required for the production of articles under hs code 810490 include raw magnesium, alloying elements (such as aluminum, zinc, or rare earth metals), energy sources (e.g., electricity, natural gas), and various manufacturing equipment and tools. Depending on the specific product, other inputs may include fasteners, coatings, or specialized machinery for further processing and assembly.

The diverse range of articles covered under hs code 810490 includes a variety of magnesium-based products, such as 810411 Magnesium and articles thereof, including waste and scrap, 810419 Magnesium and articles thereof, including waste and scrap, and other miscellaneous magnesium articles that do not fall under more specific HS codes. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 870323 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, 940320 Other furniture and parts thereof, and 851762 Machines for the reception, conversion and transmission or regeneration of voice, images or other data, including switching and routing apparatus.
