Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied as loose shredded UBC scrap
Unmelted aluminum waste/scrap in fragment form (not ingot) goes to 7602.00, including beverage can scrap.
If high-grade remelt ingot for die-casting
Certain specified alloy remelt ingots for die-casting alloys classify under 7601.20.30, not 'other' .90.
If coated with organic anti-corrosion layer
Scrap with refractory linings or organic coatings may fall under 3816 as metallurgical products.
