Discarded Router and Modem Scrap from Mexico
Broken network routers and cable modems with failed ports and chipsets, sourced from ISP returns, are unusable for their original purpose and not economically repairable. Shipped in bulk for material recovery, they meet the definition of electrical and electronic waste and scrap. This places them under tariff item 8549.99.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the devices are non-functional and shipped in bulk, not individually packaged, to qualify as waste
