Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7601.10Lower: 10% vs 35%

If non-alloyed aluminum scrap ingot

Shifts to pure aluminum unwrought under 7601.10 if elemental impurities stay within note (a) table limits (Fe+Si ≤0.1%).

7204.49.00Same rate: 35%

If marketed as ferrous alloy scrap

If inadvertently containing significant iron (>50%), could classify under iron/steel scrap in Chapter 72.

7604.29.10Higher: 40% vs 35%

If cast into bars/profiles >250mm

Wrought forms like bars or profiles from remelt process fall under 7604 as aluminum bars/rods, not unwrought.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include heat analysis reports proving alloy status per chapter note (b); declare as 'remelt scrap ingot' explicitly on entry to match subheading; watch for misclassification as fabricated articles if partially shaped
