Products classified under Tariff item 3825.49.00
Clinical Solvent Waste Mixture
This is a mixture of organic solvents, such as acetone and ethanol, collected from hospital laboratory extractions. It is contaminated with pathogens and is considered clinical waste as defined in Note 6(a) to Chapter 38. Because it contains waste organic solvents and is not excluded by the chapter notes, it falls under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Contaminated Brake Fluid Waste
This is waste brake fluid, specifically DOT 3/4 glycol ether-based, from automotive service centers, contaminated with water. Note 6(c) to Chapter 38 explicitly includes waste brake fluids under heading 38.25. As it is not excluded by other notes, it is classified under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Contaminated Ethanol Printing Waste
This is denatured ethanol waste from flexographic printing presses, contaminated with inks and unfit for use as presented. Chapter Note 6(b) defines waste organic solvents as those not fit for further use as primary products. It is not excluded by any other note, so it falls under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Mixed Printing Ink Solvent Waste
This is a mixture of isopropanol and ethyl acetate waste from gravure printing cleanup, contaminated with inks. It qualifies as waste organic solvents from allied industries under Note 6(b) to Chapter 38. As it is not excluded by other notes, it is classified under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Spent Acetone Cleaning Solvent
This is spent acetone from electronics manufacturing cleanrooms, contaminated with residues and unfit for direct reuse. It is a waste organic solvent as defined in Note 6(b) to Chapter 38. Since it is not excluded by other notes, it falls under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Spent Metal Pickling Liquor
This is hydrochloric acid-based pickling liquor waste from steel derusting, contaminated with iron. Note 6(c) to Chapter 38 explicitly includes wastes of metal pickling liquors under heading 38.25. As it is not excluded by other notes, it is classified under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Spent NMP Electronics Stripper
This is N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) waste from photoresist stripping in semiconductor fabs, highly contaminated. It is a waste organic solvent as defined in Note 6(b) to Chapter 38. Since it is not excluded by other notes, it falls under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Used MEK Paint Thinner Waste
This is methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) waste from automotive refinishing shops, laden with paint solids. It qualifies as waste organic solvents under Note 6(b) to Chapter 38. As it is not excluded by other notes, it is classified under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Used THF Adhesive Solvent Waste
This is tetrahydrofuran (THF) waste from polyurethane adhesive mixing, peroxide-contaminated and reactive. It is a waste organic solvent as defined in Note 6(b) to Chapter 38. Since it is not excluded by other notes, it falls under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Waste Antifreeze Coolant
This is ethylene glycol-based antifreeze waste from fleet maintenance, contaminated with metals and inhibitors. Note 6(c) to Chapter 38 explicitly includes waste anti-freezing fluids under heading 38.25. As it is not excluded by other notes, it is classified under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Waste DMF Fiber Spinning Solvent
This is dimethylformamide (DMF) recovered from acrylic fiber spinning baths, containing oligomers. It is a waste organic solvent as defined in Note 6(b) to Chapter 38. Since it is not excluded by other notes, it falls under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Waste Hydraulic Fluid
This is synthetic polyalphaolefin hydraulic fluid waste from industrial presses, oxidized beyond reuse. Note 6(c) to Chapter 38 explicitly includes waste hydraulic fluids under heading 38.25. As it is not excluded by other notes, it is classified under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Waste Isopropanol from Pharma Production
This is contaminated isopropanol (IPA) from pharmaceutical tablet coating processes, no longer viable as a primary solvent. It is a waste organic solvent as defined in Note 6(b) to Chapter 38. Since it is not excluded by other notes, it falls under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Waste Toluene Solvent
This is contaminated toluene recovered from industrial painting operations, no longer fit for use as a primary solvent product. It is a waste organic solvent as defined in Note 6(b) to Chapter 38. As it is not excluded by other notes, it is classified under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
Waste Xylene from Coatings Manufacture
This is mixed xylene isomers waste from alkyd resin production, containing reaction byproducts. It is a waste organic solvent as defined in Note 6(b) to Chapter 38. Since it is not excluded by other notes, it falls under tariff item 3825.49.00 as 'Other' waste organic solvents.
