Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8112Same rate: 35%

If in unwrought form like ingots

Unwrought beryllium (e.g., billets, pigs) falls under 8112.11, excluding scrap forms.

8112.19.00.00Higher: 40.5% vs 35%

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.

7204.41.00Same rate: 35%

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
