Summary
HS code 8311.30 covers wire, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes and similar products, of base metal or of metal carbides, coated or cored with flux material, of a kind used for soldering, brazing, welding or deposition of metal or of metal carbides; wire and rods, of agglomerated base metal powder, used for metal spraying, coated rods and cored wire, of base metal, for soldering, brazing or welding by flame. It sits in heading 83.11 (wire, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes and similar products, of base metal or of metal carbides, coated or cored with flux material, of a kind used for soldering, brazing, welding or deposition of metal or of metal carbides; wire and rods, of agglomerated base metal powder, used for metal spraying) in chapter 83 (miscellaneous articles of base metal). Other goods of heading 83.11 are classified under 8311.10 (coated electrodes of base metal, for electric arc-welding), 8311.20 (cored wire of base metal, for electric arc-welding) or 8311.90 (other).
What this code covers
HS code 8311.30 covers wire, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes and similar products, of base metal or of metal carbides, coated or cored with flux material, of a kind used for soldering, brazing, welding or deposition of metal or of metal carbides; wire and rods, of agglomerated base metal powder, used for metal spraying, coated rods and cored wire, of base metal, for soldering, brazing or welding by flame.
The legal text of the subheading is “Coated rods and cored wire, of base metal, for soldering, brazing or welding by flame”, in HS2022.
What it doesn’t cover
Other goods of heading 83.11 are classified under 8311.10 (coated electrodes of base metal, for electric arc-welding), 8311.20 (cored wire of base metal, for electric arc-welding) or 8311.90 (other).
How it is structured
8311.30 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 83, are the chapter; the first four, 8311, are heading 83.11; the last two, 30, identify the subheading within the heading.
Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.
- Chapter 83
- Miscellaneous articles of base metal
- Subheading 8311.30
- Coated rods and cored wire, of base metal, for soldering, brazing or welding by flame
In other countries
No national tariff lines under 8311.30 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 8311.30 at six digits and add their own digits after it.
