Antimony Metal Turnings from China
Antimony metal turnings are corkscrew-shaped chips from lathe turning of pure antimony anodes used in electroplating. This clean scrap is imported for remelting into new anodes and qualifies as waste and scrap under tariff item 8110.20.00 because the turnings are not usable as anodes in their current form.

Import Tips
• Document that the turnings are waste and scrap, not a product of another heading, by showing they are not usable as anodes without further processing
• Declare the antimony purity to ensure correct classification
• Verify duty rates with the CBSA, as waste and scrap of antimony is often duty-free
