About cadmium; other than unwrought, n.e.c. in heading no. 8107

hs code 810790 covers cadmium products that are not in unwrought form, meaning they have undergone some form of processing or manufacturing. Cadmium is a soft, bluish-white metal that is primarily used in the production of batteries, pigments, coatings, and alloys. It plays a crucial role in various industries, contributing to the broader economy through its diverse applications.

Production process

Cadmium is typically produced as a by-product during the smelting of other metal ores, such as zinc, lead, and copper. The main production techniques involve refining and processing the cadmium-containing materials to extract and purify the metal. This may include processes like roasting, leaching, and electrolytic or thermal reduction to separate the cadmium from other impurities.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of cadmium products under hs code 810790 include raw materials containing cadmium, such as zinc, lead, and copper ores. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment and machinery for the various processing and refining stages, as well as energy sources, chemicals, and skilled labor to operate the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by hs code 810790 are various cadmium-based products, such as 282580 Cadmium oxides, 811000 Cadmium sulfides, and 810720 Cadmium waste and scrap. These outputs are then consumed by industries that utilize cadmium in the manufacture of batteries, pigments, coatings, and alloys, as well as in the production of other 810700 Cadmium and articles thereof.
