Beryllium and articles thereof; unwrought beryllium, powders

HS v2017 Code: 811212

About beryllium and articles thereof; unwrought beryllium, powders

hs code 811212 covers the trade of beryllium and articles made from beryllium. Beryllium is a rare and lightweight metal with unique properties that make it highly valuable in various industries. It is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, thermal stability, and resistance to corrosion, making it an essential material in aerospace, defense, electronics, and nuclear applications. The global beryllium market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for advanced materials in high-tech industries.

Production process

Beryllium is primarily produced through the extraction and refinement of beryllium-containing ores. The main production process involves crushing and concentrating the ore, followed by chemical treatment to extract the pure beryllium metal. Beryllium can be further processed into various forms, such as ingots, sheets, or powders, depending on the specific application requirements.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the beryllium industry include beryllium-containing ores, such as bertrandite and beryl, as well as various chemicals and energy sources required for the extraction and refining processes. Specialized equipment, such as crushing and smelting machinery, is also essential for the production of beryllium and beryllium-based products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of hs code 811212 are unwrought beryllium, beryllium powders, and various articles made from beryllium, such as components for aerospace, defense, and electronics applications. These beryllium-based products may be further consumed by industries covered under other hs codes, such as 880000 Aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof, 851480 Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof, and 840110 Nuclear reactors, among others.
