HS-6 · Subheading
811213
Beryllium; waste and scrap
Heading 8112 — Beryllium, chromium, hafnium, rhenium, thallium, cadmium, germanium, vanadium, gallium, indium and niobium (columbium), articles of these metals, including waste and scrap
Chapter 81: Other base metals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 811213 when importing or exporting beryllium waste and scrap. This includes any leftover material from beryllium production processes, such as shavings or offcuts, which can be recycled or reused.
This code specifically applies to beryllium, distinguishing it from other metals like cadmium or chromium, which fall under different HS-6 codes. For instance, HS-6 811219 covers waste and scrap of other metals listed in the same heading.
Beryllium waste can come from various manufacturing processes, including aerospace components or electronics. If you're dealing with scrap from beryllium alloys, this code is appropriate for your shipments.
When classifying your goods, ensure that the beryllium content is significant enough to warrant this specific HS-6. If your material is a mix with other metals, you may need to consider other codes.
