Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chemically processed into beryllium compounds
Refined beryllium compounds like beryllium oxide are classified in Chapter 28 as inorganic chemicals, not raw ores.
If residue from metal extraction containing arsenic
Per chapter notes, arsenic-containing residues used for metal or arsenic extraction fall under heading 2620, not raw ores.
If primarily antimony content
Ores dominated by antimony are classified separately under 2617.10, based on principal metal content.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain assay certificates verifying beryllium content as per statistical notes; report assay quantity without deductions
• Ensure proper hazardous material declarations if containing impurities like arsenic, avoiding misclassification under heading 2620
• Verify mine origin documentation to comply with potential country-specific quotas or sanctions on strategic minerals
