Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If shaped into grinding media or abrasives
Processed into articles like panels or media shifts to Chapter 68.
If granulated slag from iron manufacture
Granulated forms from iron processes are distinctly classified.
If containing arsenic for industrial extraction
Arsenic-bearing residues for recovery fit 2620 chapter note.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document descaling process details to differentiate from general scrap
• Ensure no granulation has occurred post-generation
• Label for dust hazards during transport and customs inspection

Steel Mill Scale
Mill scale is the flaky surface of hot-rolled steel formed during manufacture, classified as scalings and waste from iron or steel production under HTS 2619.00.90.00. It consists primarily of iron oxides and is often recycled for iron recovery. This waste product falls outside granulated slag, fitting the 'other' category.
Iron Pickling Sludge
Pickling sludge arises from acid cleaning of iron/steel surfaces to remove scale, classified as waste from iron or steel manufacture in HTS 2619.00.90.00. It contains iron oxides, acids, and metals, unsuitable for direct reuse without processing. This fits as 'other' slag, dross, or waste.
Steel Rolling Dross
Dross from steel rolling mills is oxide waste generated during hot and cold rolling, falling under HTS 2619.00.90.00 as other waste from iron or steel manufacture. It is flaky or powdery iron oxides not granulated. Commonly reused in cement or iron recovery.
Blast Furnace Iron Scalings
Scalings from blast furnace iron production are surface wastes removed during casting or handling, classified in HTS 2619.00.90.00 as other slag, dross, or waste from iron manufacture. High in iron content for potential recycling.
Continuous Casting Scale
Scale generated from continuous casting of steel billets and slabs, a key waste in modern steelmaking under HTS 2619.00.90.00. It is oxide layer waste, not granulated, fitting 'other' category perfectly.
