Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing nickel, chromium, or other alloying elements over 2% total
Alloy steel scrap falls under 7204.49 as 'other waste and scrap' rather than plain carbon steel bundles.
If prepared as shredded scrap rather than bundles
Shredded ferrous scrap classified separately from bundled turnings and stampings.
If in loose form, not bundled
Unbundled remelting ingots or loose ferrous scrap uses different subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain scrap export licenses from origin country and verify ISRI No. 1 bundle specs (max 5 ft x 2 ft x 1/4 in thick) to avoid reclassification
• Provide radiation scan certificates and detailed chemical composition analysis to comply with U.S. steel scrap import regulations
• Ensure bundles are free of non-ferrous contamination; common pitfalls include mixed alloys leading to CBP penalties
