HS v2022 Code: 811219

About beryllium and articles thereof; wrought other than waste and scrap

HS code 811219 covers the classification of beryllium and articles made from beryllium, excluding waste and scrap. Beryllium is a rare and lightweight metal with unique properties that make it highly valuable in various industrial applications. Its high strength-to-weight ratio, thermal stability, and resistance to corrosion make it an essential material in the aerospace, defense, and electronics industries, among others. The global beryllium market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from these key sectors.

Production process

The production of beryllium and beryllium articles typically involves a multi-step process. First, beryllium ore is extracted and processed to obtain pure beryllium metal. This is then melted and cast into ingots or other shapes, which can be further refined and processed through techniques like rolling, forging, or machining to create the desired beryllium products. Specialized equipment and strict safety protocols are required throughout the production process due to the hazardous nature of beryllium dust and fumes.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the beryllium industry include beryllium ore, which is mined from a limited number of deposits around the world. Other key inputs include energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, used to power the production facilities. Specialized machinery and equipment, including melting furnaces, rolling mills, and precision machining tools, are also essential for the manufacturing of beryllium articles. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in handling and processing this unique metal.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the beryllium industry are various beryllium-containing products, such as 810100 Beryllium, unwrought; beryllium powders, 810120 Beryllium, wrought; beryllium articles, and 810130 Beryllium waste and scrap. These materials are then consumed by a range of downstream industries, including 880000 Aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof, 851000 Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles, and 902000 Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories thereof.
