Steel Borings from CNC Lathe Machining
Fine steel borings generated during precision drilling operations on CNC lathes, primarily from carbon steel shafts and fittings. Classified under HTS 7204.41.00.60 as borings, which are ferrous waste from machining processes suitable for remelting. These irregular metal particles result from hole-making operations in manufacturing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mixed with other machining waste like stampings
Mixtures of turnings, shavings, and stampings fall under the broader 'other' waste category rather than specific borings.
If from stainless steel production
Waste and scrap from stainless steel is classified separately in heading 7204.10, based on alloy composition.
If containing significant slag or non-metallic impurities
Slag and ash from ferrous metal production, including contaminated scrap, moves to Chapter 26 for mineral wastes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates verifying ferrous composition to avoid reclassification as non-ferrous scrap; ensure bundles are securely tied to prevent spillage during transit; declare exact origin and processing history to comply with steel import quotas
