Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If copper-zinc base alloy scrap from new production waste
Remelt scrap from manufacturing falls under 7404.00.30; used/recycled scrap goes to 7404.00.60
If contaminated with significant non-metallic residues
Slag or ash containing copper scrap classified by predominant slag material in Chapter 26
If refinery ash or slag scrap
Refinery byproducts containing copper go to 7404.00.10, not general scrap
