Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is not roasted
Unroasted molybdenum materials are classified under the other tariff item.
If the product is a chemically defined molybdenum oxide
Molybdenum oxides of a chemically defined nature are classified under heading 28.25.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the product is not further purified into chemically defined molybdenum oxides, which would fall under chapter 28
• Provide purity analysis showing MoO3 content
• Ensure the product is in a form consistent with ores and concentrates, not a chemical preparation
