Solder Dross Scrap
Waste residue from electronics soldering operations, primarily lead-tin dross with lead content by weight less than 99% but predominant metallic element. Falls under HTS 7802.00.00.60 as 'other' lead waste and scrap per statistical note on lead alloys.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tin content exceeds lead
Statistical notes define alloys by predominant metal; tin-dominant goes to Chapter 80.
If sold as recovered circuit board assemblies
Scrap electronic boards with lead solder classify as processed integrated circuits under Chapter 85.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit detailed chemical composition analysis confirming lead as primary metal
• Include Basel Convention docs if transboundary hazardous waste movement
• Segregate from pure tin scrap (8002.00) to avoid reclassification
