Products classified under Tariff item 8549.29.00.00
Au-Plated Pin Grid Array Scrap
Defective pin grid array (PGA) packages with gold-plated pins from processor manufacturing, sent for precious metal reclamation. These semiconductor scraps are non-functional electronic waste, rendered unusable for their original purpose and valued primarily for their gold content.
8549.29.00Defective Gold-Plated Semiconductor Test Probes
Rejected gold-plated probes from semiconductor testing equipment, scrapped for metal recovery due to wear or manufacturing defects. This electrical waste is principally valued for its gold content rather than reuse, and is unfit for its original purpose.
8549.29.00Defunct Network Interface Card Contacts
Gold-plated contacts depopulated from obsolete network interface cards, collected for smelter feed. This pure electronic waste stream is destined for precious metal recovery, as the contacts are no longer functional or suitable for reuse.
8549.29.00Electronic Connector Pin Scrap from Servers
Depopulated gold-plated connector pins stripped from server motherboards, collected specifically for precious metal smelting. These tiny electrical components are waste unfit for reinsertion, and are valued mainly for their gold content.
8549.29.00Gold Contact Relay Scrap
Bulk scrapped electrical relays with gold-tipped contacts from industrial control systems, valued for metal recovery. These worn-out electronic components constitute electrical waste, as they are no longer functional and are unfit for reuse.
8549.29.00Gold-Finger Computer Motherboard Scrap
End-of-life computer motherboards featuring gold-finger edge connectors, collected for gold recovery through smelting processes. This electronic waste is no longer functional and valued mainly for its precious metal content, making it classifiable under this tariff item.
8549.29.00Gold-Plated Lead Frame Scrap from IC Production
Manufacturing scrap lead frames with gold plating from integrated circuit assembly lines, recycled for precious metal recovery. These electrical waste pieces are defective or trimmed excess, and are not suitable for their original use.
8549.29.00Gold Spring Contact Scrap from Test Fixtures
Worn gold-plated pogo pins and spring contacts from automated test equipment fixtures, scrapped for recovery. These precision electrical contacts are electronic waste, as they are no longer functional and are valued for their gold content.
8549.29.00Mixed Gold-Plated Semiconductor Pins
Assorted gold-plated pins from various IC packages and headers, aggregated for precious metal processing. This bulk electrical scrap from electronics recycling is unfit for reuse and is valued primarily for its gold content.
8549.29.00Scrap Connectors from Telecom Equipment
Salvaged gold-plated electrical connectors from decommissioned telecommunications routers and switches, destined for precious metal recovery. These components are electronic scrap, broken or worn, and unsuitable for reuse.
8549.29.00Scrap Edge Connectors from Graphics Cards
Detached gold-edged connectors from scrapped graphics processing units, targeted for hydrometallurgical gold recovery. This is pure electronic waste from consumer electronics, unfit for reuse and valued for its precious metal content.
8549.29.00Scrap Gold-Plated Bus Bars from Power Supplies
Gold-plated copper bus bars recovered from high-end server power supplies, targeted for dual metal recovery. This electrical scrap is unfit for electrical conduction reuse, and is valued for its gold and copper content.
8549.29.00Scrap Printed Circuit Boards with Gold Plating
Discarded printed circuit boards from electronics manufacturing containing gold-plated contacts and connectors, principally used for precious metal recovery. These boards are electronic scrap unfit for further use but valued for their gold content.
8549.29.00Scrap RF Connectors with Gold Contacts
Worn-out radio frequency connectors with gold-plated contacts from military and broadcast equipment, destined for metal reclamation. This electronic scrap is valued for gold content over any reuse potential, and is no longer functional.
8549.29.00Telecom Switch Backplane Scrap
Decommissioned backplane boards from enterprise telecom switches with extensive gold-plated vias and contacts for recovery. This multilayer electronic scrap is principally for precious metal extraction, and is no longer functional.
