Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloy steel rather than carbon steel
Alloy steel turnings/chips have a separate statistical suffix from carbon steel equivalents in this heading.
If sorted and baled for density
Baled or briquetted milling waste shifts to the bundled scrap subheading regardless of fine particle size.
If containing significant slag or dross from processing
Slag-bearing steel waste moves to Chapter 26 for metallurgical slags rather than pure ferrous scrap.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct sieve analysis to confirm chip size meets 'milling waste' criteria vs larger cuttings; include photos/documentation of generation process in entry; watch for moisture content declarations to avoid weight disputes
