Analysis
HTS 8112.13.00 covers beryllium: waste and scrap under heading 8112 (beryllium, chromium, hafnium, rhenium, thallium, cadmium, germanium, vanadium, gallium…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 8.5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 8112.12.00 (unwrought; powders), at 8.5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 8.5 percentage points.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 34% of the 71 tariff lines in chapter 81. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
