Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the ingot is further processed into a shape (e.g., machined, forged), it may be classified as an article of beryllium.
Unwrought forms are limited to those not yet shaped into articles; further processing changes classification.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the ingot is not an alloy; if it contains other metals exceeding 1% by weight, it may be classified as an alloy under Section XV Note 5
• Provide a mill certificate or analysis to prove purity (at least 99% beryllium for 'not alloyed' per Chapter 81 Supplementary Note 1)
• Be aware of potential export controls from the country of origin, as beryllium is a controlled material
