8110 10 — Unwrought antimony; antimony powders
Unwrought antimony; antimony powders
Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.
Machine translation. The original is the Russian text of the EAEU tariff, and customs goes by it; this translation is for understanding only and has no legal force.

Antimony is obtained mainly from sulphide ore containing stibnite: (1) by concentration and liquation to obtain so-called "crude antimony", which is in fact a crude sulphide falling in heading 2617; (2) by smelting to obtain antimony containing impurities, known as unrefined antimony; (3) by further smelting to obtain, after refining, a metal of high purity known as refined antimony. Antimony is a lustrous white metal with a bluish tinge, brittle and easily reduced to powder. Unalloyed antimony has few uses. However, in alloys, particularly with lead and tin, it imparts hardness and is used for making bearing alloys, type metal and other casting alloys, tin-lead alloys, Britannia metal (an alloy of tin, copper, antimony, sometimes zinc), etc. (see Chapters 78 and 80, where these alloys are usually classified because of the predominance of lead or tin in them).
