Beryllium, chromium, hafnium, rhenium, thallium, cadmium, germanium, vanadium, gallium, indium and niobium (columbium), articles of these metals, including waste and scrap
In plain English
This category covers beryllium, chromium, hafnium, rhenium, thallium, cadmium, germanium, vanadium, gallium, indium, and niobium, along with products made from these metals, including their waste and scrap. The items are separated into groups based on the specific metal involved, such as beryllium or chromium. Within each metal group, the goods are further divided by their physical form, distinguishing between raw materials like powders and unwrought pieces versus processed wrought items. Some categories also specifically isolate waste and scrap from other forms of the material.
