Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing significant silicon steel laminations
High-silicon electrical steels qualify as alloy scrap under specific alloy headings.
If imported as whole used electric motors
Complete assemblies are classified as waste electrical machinery under Chapter 85, not ferrous scrap.
If processed into shredded turnings
Machined turnings prepared per ISRI specs shift to prepared scrap categories.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Remove copper windings completely and provide demagnetization certification to ensure pure ferrous classification
• Comply with TSCA regulations by testing for PCBs in old electrical scrap from pre-1979 equipment
• Bundle scrap to prevent loose pieces that could lead to container fumigation requirements
