Beryllium Machining Scrap
Waste generated from machining beryllium parts in aerospace manufacturing, consisting of shavings, turnings, and small chips primarily of beryllium metal. Classified under HTS 8112.13.00.00 as waste and scrap of beryllium, distinct from unwrought or wrought forms in other headings. Purity typically exceeds 99% beryllium content.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in unwrought form like ingots
Unwrought beryllium (e.g., billets, pigs) falls under 8112.11, excluding scrap forms.
If containing alloys with <99% beryllium
Alloys where beryllium is less than 99% by weight are classified under other beryllium articles per Chapter 81 notes.
If contaminated with significant iron/steel
Ferrous waste and scrap with beryllium impurities may shift to Chapter 72 if iron predominates.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain Certificates of Analysis confirming beryllium content and absence of hazardous contaminants to avoid reclassification
• Comply with EPA and OSHA beryllium handling regulations; provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
• Verify scrap is not suitable for direct recycling without processing to prevent duty-free entry under other provisions
