Spent Tantalum Sputtering Targets from Japan
Spent tantalum sputtering targets, depleted after use in semiconductor thin-film deposition, are no longer viable for their original purpose. Their eroded and contaminated state renders them unusable as targets, qualifying them as waste and scrap under tariff item 8103.30.00.

Import Tips
• Provide documentation from the semiconductor facility confirming the targets are spent and non-refurbishable
• Separate any backing plates or bonding materials, as these may affect classification
• Verify the tantalum content and purity to ensure accurate declaration under waste and scrap
