Cobalt-Chromium Dental Alloy
A high-strength cobalt-chromium alloy used for manufacturing dental prosthetics like crowns and bridges. Classified under HTS 8105.20.30.00 as an unwrought cobalt alloy due to its primary cobalt content exceeding other metals and form as ingots or bars for further processing. Meets chapter notes for cobalt alloys with cobalt less than 99% but predominant.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tungsten predominant in alloy
Alloys shift to Chapter 81 heading for the base metal with highest weight percent per notes.
If shaped into bars/rods for steelmaking
Semi-finished cobalt alloy products resembling steel intermediates fall under iron/steel chapters.
If processed into finished dental appliances
Completed artificial teeth or dental fittings classify as medical instruments, not base metal alloys.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates verifying cobalt as the predominant metal (> any other element) per Chapter 81 notes
• Ensure documentation specifies unwrought form (ingots, pigs) not finished articles to stay in 8105
