Beryllium; waste and scrap

HS v2022 Code: 811213

About beryllium; waste and scrap

HS code 811213 covers beryllium, a rare and lightweight metal with unique properties that make it valuable in a variety of industrial applications. Beryllium is known 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 global beryllium market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from these key sectors.

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. This can be done through various methods, such as the Kroll process or the metallothermic reduction of beryllium fluoride. The resulting beryllium is then cast or extruded into the desired shapes and forms for further industrial use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of beryllium under HS code 811213 include beryllium-containing ores, such as bertrandite and beryl, as well as various chemicals and energy sources needed for the extraction and refining processes. Specialized equipment, such as furnaces, reactors, and casting machinery, are also essential for the production of beryllium metal and its subsequent fabrication into finished products.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 811213 is beryllium metal, which is then used as a raw material in the production of a wide range of products. These include 810120 Beryllium, unwrought; beryllium powders, 810130 Beryllium, waste and scrap, and 810190 Beryllium, articles thereof, n.e.s.. Beryllium is commonly used in the manufacture of aerospace components, electronics, and defense equipment, as well as in various industrial applications that require its unique properties.
