8112

Analysis

Heading 8112 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers beryllium, chromium, hafnium, rhenium, thallium, cadmium, germanium, vanadium, gallium, indium and niobium (columbium), and articles of these metals, including waste and scrap. It divides into 17 six-digit subheadings and 27 eight-digit tariff lines, with 27 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

The spread of 8.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 8.5%, applies to 8112.12.00 (unwrought; powders).

9 of its 27 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 18 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 8.5%. The median line pays 3%.

The largest subheadings are 8112.92 (unwrought; waste and scrap; powders, 7 lines), 8112.99 (other, 3 lines), 8112.41 (unwrought; waste and scrap; powders, 2 lines) and 8112.69 (other, 2 lines).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Nonferrous Metal (except Aluminum) Smelting and Refining (331410) and Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (331491). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
