Overview
This HTS category, 8112.13.00.00, specifically covers waste and scrap of beryllium. This includes materials that are no longer in their primary manufactured form and are intended for reprocessing or recycling. Examples would include discarded beryllium components, offcuts from beryllium fabrication, or any other form of beryllium material that has been rendered unusable for its original purpose but retains its intrinsic value as a source of beryllium.
It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its sibling categories. HTS code 8112.12.00.00 is reserved for unwrought beryllium and beryllium powders, which are forms intended for further primary manufacturing rather than being waste or scrap. The sibling category 8112.19.00.00 encompasses "other" beryllium articles not specifically classified elsewhere. Therefore, 8112.13.00.00 is exclusively for materials that are definitively categorized as waste or scrap, signifying their end-of-life or discarded status.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 8112.13.00.00. Classification at this level hinges on identifying the material as beryllium and confirming its status as waste or scrap, meaning it is collected for purposes of recovery of base metals or other materials. The physical state or specific form of the waste (e.g., shavings, dust, broken pieces) does not typically alter its classification here, provided it is clearly beryllium waste and scrap.
