Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chemically treated artificial corundum used in generation
Certain grinding media waste falls under Chapter 28 chemicals rather than ferrous scrap.
If bundled into high-density blocks
Briquetted or bundled filings move to the bundled waste category in the tariff.
If stainless steel alloy filings
Stainless filings receive separate statistical treatment from carbon steel in this subheading.
