Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If assembled into complete thermocouple
Assembled thermocouples with molybdenum wire classify under Chapter 90 as temperature sensors, not raw wire.
If powder form
Molybdenum powders are 8102.94; only drawn or rolled wire is 8102.96.
If alloyed with significant steel content
Alloys with molybdenum <99% but dominant in steel wire shift to Chapter 72 per Chapter 81 US note.
