Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If processed into fittings
Scrap refabricated into usable tubes or fittings becomes finished goods under Chapter 39 heading 3917.
If containing rubber content
High rubber comonomer content may reclassify to waste rubber if it predominates over plastic units.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit detailed polymer breakdown reports confirming ABS predominance; ensure scrap is clean and free of contaminants
• Label shipments clearly as 'plastic scrap for recycling' to prevent hazardous waste scrutiny
• Avoid bundling with metals to stay out of composite waste codes
