Medical Equipment PCB Scrap from Germany

Discarded printed circuit boards from medical imaging equipment, such as MRI, X-ray, and ultrasound machines, contain specialized integrated circuits and are unusable for their original purpose. 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.
