Used Laptop Computer Scrap from China

Discarded laptop computers with broken screens, damaged motherboards, and non-functional batteries are unusable for their original purpose and not economically repairable. Collected for metal recovery and shipped in bulk, they qualify as electrical and electronic waste and scrap. This places them under tariff item 8549.99.00.
