Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the billet has been machined or shaped into a specific article, it may be classified as an article of beryllium.
Unwrought forms are those not yet worked into articles; machining changes classification.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the billet is not considered a 'bar or rod' under Section XV Note 9(a); if it has a uniform cross-section and is not in coils, it may be classified as a bar
• Provide evidence of the remelting process to show it is unwrought
• Check if the billet is subject to any special import restrictions under Canada's Export and Import Permits Act
