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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from shredded turnings or borings
Shredded borings and turnings have separate statistical suffix, changing from cut plate category.
If not cut into pieces under 2kg each
Unc ut heavy slabs or plates over 2kg fall under different waste category by weight limits.
If identifiable as used structural assemblies
Complete used structures like I-beams are classified as fabricated articles, not scrap.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain scrap origin certificates proving non-hazardous content; conduct radiation screening as required by US CBP; avoid mixing with non-ferrous metals to prevent reclassification
