  • 6-digit codes are universal; countries add digits for specifics.
  • Updates every 5 years—no WCO overhaul until 2027.
  • Essential for duties, quotas, and **cadmium tariff classification**.

In 2025, over 98% of global trade relies on HS per WCO data.

Primary HS Code for Cadmium: 8107.20 Explained

**8107.20** covers unwrought cadmium, powders, and flakes in 2025.**

  • Includes cadmium mattes and residues.
  • Excludes compounds (Chapter 28).
  • 2025 trade volume: Key for electronics, pigments.
  • Density: 1.5–2% in exports per UN Comtrade.

Accurate use prevents customs delays.

HS Codes for Cadmium Compounds and Waste 2025

Cadmium oxide and hydroxides use **2825.90** as HS code.**

  • **8107.90**: Other cadmium articles.
  • Toxic nature triggers extra scrutiny.
  • 2025: National extensions apply.

  • EU: Combined Nomenclature with REACH tightening.
  • No global WCO changes until 2027.

These affect e-commerce exporters handling cadmium products.

NiCd Batteries HS Code: 8507.30 in 2025

Nickel-cadmium batteries classify under **8507.30** HS code.**

  • Electric accumulators, NiCd type.
  • Phasing out due to toxicity bans.
  • 2025 US: Stricter enforcement on low-value imports.
  • Alternatives: Lithium-ion (8507.60).

Monitor for tariff hikes.

Cadmium Pigments and Electroplating HS Codes

**3206.20** governs cadmium-based pigments in 2025.**

  • Used in paints, artists' colors.
  • EU 2025: Volume limits under REACH.
  • Electroplating: Often 7907.00 (zinc-cadmium coated).
  • Prop 65 warnings in California.

Shift to eco-friendly options rising.

How to Find the Correct HS Code for Cadmium: Step-by-Step

Use this guide for precise **cadmium HS code** classification.**

  1. Determine product form (pure metal, compound, alloy).
  2. Reference WCO chapters: 28 (inorganic), 32 (pigments), 81 (cadmium), 85 (batteries).
  3. Apply 2025 national updates (GCC 12-digit, US HTS).
  4. Check regulations (REACH, TSCA, toxicity labels).
  5. Verify via official tools like WCO database.

Reduces misclassification risks by 90%.
