Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7204.41.00Same rate: 35%

If Shavings, chips, and milling waste have separate statistical suffixes within the same heading.

7204.50.00.00Same rate: 35%

If alloy steel like tool steel composition

Ferrous scrap from specific alloys such as tool steel is classified under 7204.50 based on chemical definitions in chapter notes.

7204.29.00.00Same rate: 35%

If in the form of remelting ingots rather than loose scrap

Processed remelting ingots of alloy steel fall under 7204.29, distinct from raw waste forms.

Import Tips & Compliance

Test for sand contamination levels as high non-metallics may trigger environmental restrictions; use ventilated containers to minimize dust hazards; accurately weigh net metallic content for duty calculation excluding impurities
