Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the plates are not parts of machinery under Section XVI, which would exclude them from Chapter 81
• Provide a technical datasheet demonstrating the cermet composition to the CBSA
• Verify the dimensions and shape to ensure they do not qualify as plates, sheets, or strip under Section XV Note 9

Cermet Armor Tiles
Lightweight ballistic armor tiles manufactured from a boron carbide-metal matrix cermet composite. These tiles are designed for use in protective armor systems and qualify as cermets under tariff item 8113.00.00 because they consist of a microscopic heterogeneous combination of a metallic and ceramic component.
Cermet Bearing Bushings
Self-lubricating bearing bushings made from aluminum oxide-titanium cermets, designed for high-temperature bearing applications. These bushings are classified as cermet articles under 8113.00.00 because they are formed from a sintered metal-ceramic composite with a hard, low-friction structure.
Cermet Extrusion Dies
Long-life extrusion dies manufactured from tantalum carbide cermets, used for wire drawing applications. These dies are classified under 8113.00.00 as cermet articles because they are made from a sintered composite of ceramic carbide and metallic binder, providing superior deformation resistance.
Cermet Nozzle for Injection Molding
High-wear nozzles made from chrome carbide cermets, used in plastic injection molding machines. These nozzles are classified under 8113.00.00 as cermet articles because they are formed from a ceramic-metal composite that offers thermal shock resistance and wear resistance.
Cermet Powder for Additive Manufacturing
Fine spherical powder of tungsten carbide-cobalt cermet, prepared for additive manufacturing of wear parts. This powder is classified under 8113.00.00 as a cermet product because it consists of a sintered metal carbide composite, and the term cermets includes sintered metal carbides per Section XV Note 4.
Cermet Scrap from Tool Manufacturing
Waste and scrap cermet material generated from grinding tungsten carbide inserts during production. This material is explicitly covered under 8113.00.00, which includes waste and scrap of cermets, and is not usable as a finished product.
