Beryllium; waste and scrap

HS v2017 Code: 811213

About beryllium; waste and scrap

hs code 811213 covers the classification of beryllium, a rare and lightweight metal with unique properties that make it valuable in a variety of industrial applications. Beryllium is prized for its high strength-to-weight ratio, thermal stability, and resistance to corrosion, making it an essential material in the aerospace, defense, and electronics industries. The trade and processing of beryllium and its waste and scrap products play a crucial role in the global supply chain, supporting the manufacturing of critical components and technologies.

Production process

Beryllium is primarily extracted from the mineral beryl, which is then processed through a series of steps to produce pure beryllium metal. The production process typically involves crushing and grinding the ore, followed by chemical extraction and purification techniques to isolate the beryllium. The refined metal is then cast or machined into the desired shapes and forms for use in various applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the beryllium industry include the raw beryl ore, as well as specialized equipment and machinery for the extraction, refining, and processing of the metal. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metallurgy, engineering, and manufacturing to ensure the efficient and safe production of beryllium-based products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the beryllium industry are beryllium metal and its alloys, which are used in a wide range of applications, including 848620 Machinery parts, 854011 Diodes, and 880240 Airplanes and other aircraft. The waste and scrap generated during the production process, as covered by hs code 811213, can be recycled and reused, contributing to the overall sustainability of the industry.
