Overview
This HTS classification, 8112.22.00.00, specifically designates waste and scrap materials composed primarily of beryllium. Within Chapter 81, which covers less common base metals, this subheading focuses on recovered or discarded forms of beryllium that are intended for reprocessing or recycling. Such materials include shavings, turnings, dross, or discarded parts that retain the inherent properties of beryllium.
This category is distinct from its sibling classifications, 8112.21.00.00 (unwrought and powders) and 8112.29.00.00 (other), by exclusively addressing materials in a waste or scrap state. While unwrought beryllium and powders represent primary forms of the metal, and "other" encompasses finished or semi-finished articles not covered elsewhere, this subheading is specifically for materials that have reached the end of their initial use and are destined for reclamation. The key distinguishing factor is the material's condition and intended purpose, which is recovery of the base metal.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within 8112.22.00.00 is solely on accurately identifying beryllium-bearing waste and scrap. This involves confirming the material's composition and its status as waste or scrap, ensuring it is not considered a usable article or a refined form of the metal under other classifications.
