Can I import beryllium without special permits?

Importing beryllium may require special permits depending on your country’s regulations. Always check with local customs authorities.

How do I declare beryllium on customs forms?

When declaring beryllium, use HS code 811212 and provide detailed descriptions of the product, including its intended use.

What is the difference between unwrought beryllium and beryllium articles?

Unwrought beryllium refers to raw forms like ingots and powders, while beryllium articles are finished products made from beryllium.

Are there any restrictions on beryllium exports?

Yes, beryllium exports may be subject to restrictions due to its applications in defense and aerospace. Check with export control regulations.

What industries use unwrought beryllium?

Unwrought beryllium is primarily used in aerospace, electronics, and nuclear industries due to its unique properties.

How can I determine if my product qualifies as unwrought beryllium?

Consult with a customs broker or refer to product specifications to ensure your item meets the unwrought criteria.

Is beryllium scrap classified under HS 811212?

No, beryllium scrap is classified under a different HS code and should not be declared under HS 811212.

HS-6 · Subheading

811212

Beryllium and articles thereof; unwrought beryllium, powders

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 811212 when importing or exporting unwrought beryllium or beryllium powders. For example, a shipment of beryllium metal ingots intended for aerospace applications falls under this code.

This code specifically covers unwrought beryllium, which is often used in high-performance alloys and specialized applications like aerospace and electronics. In contrast, HS-6 811213 includes beryllium articles, such as finished components made from beryllium.

When dealing with HS-6 811212, be aware that it does not include beryllium scrap or waste, which would fall under a different classification. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs declarations and compliance.

If you're unsure whether your product qualifies as unwrought beryllium or a finished article, consulting with a customs broker can provide clarity and help avoid potential delays.
