Analysis
HTS 8112.92.07 covers unwrought; waste and scrap; powders: waste and scrap under heading 8112 (beryllium, chromium, hafnium, rhenium, thallium, cadmium, germanium, vanadium, gallium…).
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.09 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 4.9%. Compared with 8112.92.40 (niobium (columbium)), which pays 4.9%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4.9 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 34% of the 71 tariff lines in chapter 81, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. 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.
