Analysis
HTS 8106.90.00 covers bismuth and articles thereof, including waste and scrap: other under heading 8106 (bismuth and articles thereof, including waste and scrap).
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 34% of the 71 tariff lines in chapter 81. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other line in the same group is 8106.10.00 (containing more than 99.99 percent of bismuth, by weight, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 331491 (Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding), an industry of 199 US establishments employing 12,115 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 7.5% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 7.5% duty.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
