Overview
This HTS category, 8112, encompasses a range of specific base metals and articles manufactured from them. It includes beryllium, chromium, hafnium, rhenium, thallium, cadmium, germanium, vanadium, gallium, indium, and niobium (also known as columbium). The scope extends to include any waste and scrap derived from these metals, ensuring comprehensive coverage for recovery and recycling purposes.
Unlike broader categories for common base metals such as iron, steel, copper, or aluminum, this chapter focuses on less frequently encountered metals, often characterized by unique properties like high temperature resistance, specific electrical conductivity, or rarity. Its position within Section XV, Chapter 81, highlights its distinction as a collection of "other base metals" that do not fit into the preceding chapters.
The subcategories within 8112 provide a further breakdown, allowing for more precise classification based on the specific metal. These subdivisions, such as beryllium, chromium, hafnium, and others, are critical for identifying the exact composition of the imported or exported goods. This granular approach is essential for applying specific duty rates, import/export controls, and trade statistics accurately.
