Steel Turnings from Lathe Machining
Fine curly shavings produced during lathe turning operations on carbon steel bars, collected as ferrous scrap for remelting. Classified under HTS 7204.41.00.80 as turnings, a specific type of machining waste not bundled. Meets Chapter 72 definition for ferrous waste and scrap intended for recycling.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in bundled form
Bundled turnings and stampings fall under the separate subheading for bundled waste, changing from 'other' unbundled scrap.
If primarily stainless steel composition
Stainless steel turnings are statistically segregated under the stainless-specific breakout within the same turnings heading.
If consisting of heavier cuttings rather than fine turnings
Thinner cut scraps and pieces (not fine shavings) are classified under the general 'other waste and scrap' rather than the turnings specific category.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates verifying ferrous composition to avoid reclassification as non-ferrous scrap; ensure scrap is free of hazardous contaminants like oil exceeding EPA limits; declare exact weight after magnetic separation to prevent shortages claims
