Products classified under HTS 7204.49.00.60
Building Girder End Cut Scrap
Precision-cut ends from wide flange steel girders used in high-rise construction, ASTM A992 grade, 12-24 inch depths. HTS 7204.49.00.60 designation for structural building scrap intended for remelting into new beams. Free of attachments or concrete encasement.
Cut Pressure Vessel Plate Scrap
Reject plates and trimmings from ASME pressure vessel fabrication, SA-516 Grade 70 normalized steel, 1-4 inch thick. Classifies under HTS 7204.49.00.60 as cut plate scrap for remelting, excluding finished vessels. Normalized microstructure aids melting efficiency.
Demolition Crane Boom Scrap
Cut sections from lattice crane booms, high-strength S690QL steel quenched and tempered, typical 300mm flange width. HTS 7204.49.00.60 applies to this torch-cut structural scrap for rerolling. Quench-hardened properties enhance scrap value.
Offshore Platform Leg Scrap
Cut cylindrical and box sections from decommissioned oil platform legs, API 2W Grade 50 weather-resistant steel. Structural scrap under HTS 7204.49.00.60 for marine remelting operations. Corrosion-resistant alloying elements noted.
Cut Transmission Tower Scrap
Angle iron and lattice sections cut from retired electrical transmission towers, ASTM A572 Grade 65 high-strength low-alloy steel. HTS 7204.49.00.60 structural scrap designation for utility recycling programs. Galvanized coating typically stripped.
Steel Mill Ladle Shroud Scrap
Cut refractory-lined plate fragments from continuous casting ladle shrouds, killed structural steel backing plate. Recycled under HTS 7204.49.00.60 as cut plate scrap despite casting equipment origin. Refractory must be separated.
Cut Storage Tank Bottom Scrap
Floor plate sections cut from decommissioned petroleum storage tanks, ASTM A36 mild steel, 1/2 inch thick with rolled edges. HTS 7204.49.00.60 for cut plate tank scrap destined for rerolling. Tank bottoms yield clean plate scrap.
Structural Steel Skeleton Scrap
Demolition-cut building skeleton framework including columns and trusses, A913 Grade 65 structural steel. Comprehensive structural scrap under HTS 7204.49.00.60 for electric furnace charge. Seismic-grade material enhances value.
Cut Ship Hold Frame Scrap
Internal framing plates and stiffeners cut from vessel double bottoms and bulkheads, ABS Grade AH36 ship steel. Maritime structural scrap per HTS 7204.49.00.60 for specialized rerolling. Normalized for impact toughness.
Heavy Section Mill Reject Scrap
Cut rejects from structural section rolling mill including defective H-beams and channels, S275JR structural steel. Mill production scrap classified HTS 7204.49.00.60 for immediate remelt. Surface defects but sound metallurgy.
Cut Shipbuilding Steel Plate Scrap
Ferrous scrap consisting of cut pieces from heavy steel plates used in shipbuilding hull construction, typically 20-50mm thick with high tensile strength. Classified under HTS 7204.49.00.60 as cut plate and structural scrap suitable for remelting, distinct from coil or sheet scrap. These pieces often bear remnants of marine-grade coatings but are processed for recycling.
Demolished Bridge I-Beam Scrap
Cut segments from weathered steel I-beams recovered from bridge demolition, featuring rivet holes and weld marks, average length 1-2 meters. Fits HTS 7204.49.00.60 as structural scrap for remelting, excluding intact fabricated structures. High carbon content from weathering makes it ideal for rerolling.
Cut Heavy Machinery Frame Scrap
Torch-cut fragments from dismantled industrial crane and excavator frames, typically S355 structural steel grade, 10-30mm thick. Classified as cut plate and structural under HTS 7204.49.00.60 for remelting, differentiated from castings or forgings. Residual oil must be cleaned to meet import standards.
Welded Pipe Mill Plate Scrap
Edge-trimmed and reject plates from large-diameter steel pipe manufacturing, cut to scrap size with mill scale intact. HTS 7204.49.00.60 covers this cut plate scrap for remelting, separate from coil rejects. API 5L grade steel common in energy sector applications.
Cut Wind Turbine Tower Scrap
Segmented plates from decommissioned wind turbine tower sections, S355ML high-strength structural steel, galvanized remnants. Perfectly matches HTS 7204.49.00.60 as cut structural scrap for electric arc furnaces. Weather-resistant properties from original fabrication.
