Vacuum Cast Unwrought Cobalt Billets from China
Unwrought cobalt billets produced by vacuum induction melting, suitable for aerospace superalloys. Falls under HTS 8105.20.60.00 as 'other' unwrought cobalt, representing intermediate metallurgical products not in powder or electrolytic form. These are cast shapes requiring further processing into bars or wires.

Import Tips
• Provide production process documentation (e.g
• vacuum melting certs) to distinguish from wrought articles under 8105.90
• Label with exact cobalt percentage and alloying elements; pitfalls include misdeclaration as nickel-cobalt alloys under 8112
• Comply with REACH-like regulations for cobalt traceability in supply chain
