Primary Magnesium Ingots
High-purity magnesium ingots produced by electrolysis or thermal reduction, containing at least 99% magnesium. Classified under HTS 8104.19.00.00 as unwrought magnesium that is not refined and not in powdered form. Used primarily in the production of magnesium alloys for automotive and aerospace applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing less than 99% magnesium
Magnesium alloys with lower purity fall under secondary magnesium (waste/scrap) heading.
If in powdered or granular form
Powdered magnesium is specifically classified separately from unwrought forms.
If chemically treated with additives
Processed magnesium with chemical preparations moves to chemical preparations heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify magnesium purity exceeds 99% with certified assay reports to confirm unwrought classification
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) documenting flammability risks during transport
• Avoid misclassification as scrap by providing production origin documentation
