Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 7204.49.00
Structural Steel Scrap Beams
Scrap from demolished I-beams, channels, and angles of carbon steel construction grade, cut into unprepared lengths over 2 feet. Fits HTS 7204.49.00 as 'other' ferrous scrap for remelting, not further worked per chapter notes.
Shipbreaking Steel Plate Scrap
Heavy steel plates and hull sections from decommissioned ships, unprepared and rusty but ferrous-dominant for remelting. Classified as 'other' waste and scrap under HTS 7204.49.00; no duty reduction for rust per chapter note.
Punchings and Bar Crop Ends Scrap
Short lengths of carbon steel bars and punchings from manufacturing trimmings, unprepared for melting. This mill scrap qualifies as 'other' ferrous waste under HTS 7204.49.00, excluding turnings.
Mixed Borings Steel Scrap
Mixed steel borings and turnings from drilling operations, lightly oiled but primarily ferrous for remelting. Falls under HTS 7204.49.00 as 'other' scrap, not pure turnings due to mixed composition.
Demolition Machine Shop Scrap
Assorted ferrous scrap from construction equipment demolition, including frames and housings, unprepared. HTS 7204.49.00 covers this 'other' category for general remelting scrap.
Rusty Sheet Scrap
Corroded carbon steel sheets from roofing and cladding, unprepared for recycling despite surface rust. HTS 7204.49.00 applies; chapter note prohibits duty allowance for rust damage.
Foundry Arisings Scrap
Sand-adhered ferrous castings and risers from foundry gates, unprepared for remelting. As 'other' ferrous waste, HTS 7204.49.00 despite minor non-metallic inclusions.
No. 1 Heavy Melting Steel Scrap
Heavy melting steel scrap consisting of clean, unprepared black iron or steel scrap with a minimum 1/4 inch thickness, suitable for remelting in electric arc furnaces. This falls under HTS 7204.49.00 as 'other' ferrous waste and scrap not specifically classified elsewhere in heading 7204, primarily used in steel recycling. It excludes prepared or shredded forms covered by other subheadings.
No. 2 Heavy Melting Steel Scrap
Steel scrap from mixed heavy structural shapes and plates, with thickness over 1/8 inch, including new black sheet clippings but excluding galvanized material. Classified under HTS 7204.49.00 as unprepared 'other' ferrous scrap for remelting, distinct from lighter or coated variants.
Electric Motor Steel Scrap
Ferrous scrap from dismantled electric motors, stators, and armatures, containing laminations but unprepared for shredding. This 'other' waste under HTS 7204.49.00 is remelting scrap excluding turnings or specific electrical apparatus scrap.
