HS v2022 Code: 810430

About magnesium; raspings, turnings and granules, graded according to size, powders

HS code 810430 covers the trade of magnesium in the form of raspings, turnings, and granules that have been graded by size, as well as magnesium powders. Magnesium is a lightweight, silvery-white metal that is essential for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing a key material for the production of various goods, from automotive components to construction materials.

Production process

The production of magnesium raspings, turnings, granules, and powders typically involves a multi-step process. First, pure magnesium is extracted from magnesium-containing ores or seawater through electrolytic or thermal reduction processes. The resulting magnesium is then mechanically processed into the desired forms, such as raspings, turnings, and granules, using techniques like milling, grinding, and sieving. Magnesium powders are produced by further refining and atomizing the metal.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of magnesium raspings, turnings, granules, and powders include raw magnesium metal, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the various processing steps. The availability and quality of magnesium ores or seawater sources are also critical inputs, as they determine the supply and purity of the primary magnesium material. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary for the extraction and processing of magnesium.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 810430 are the various forms of processed magnesium, including raspings, turnings, granules, and powders. These materials are then consumed by a wide range of industries, such as 810420 Magnesium; unwrought for the production of magnesium alloys, 940320 Furniture; metal, other than seats for the manufacture of lightweight metal components, and 870323 Motor cars and other motor vehicles; spark-ignition engine of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,500 cc but not exceeding 3,000 cc, new for the automotive industry.
