Molybdenum Wire Crop Ends Scrap
Short crop ends and rejects from molybdenum wire drawing operations, collected as scrap for remelting. HTS 8102.97.00.00 applies to this clean, high-purity waste (98-99.5% Mo). Not suitable as finished wire products.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If lengths exceed crop end tolerances
Longer segments qualify as molybdenum wire under 8102.92.
If fabricated into leaf or strip
Semi-manufactured leaf/strip forms separate from scrap.
If stainless steel alloy scrap containing molybdenum
Ferro-molybdenum scrap goes to iron/steel waste headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document wire production process to distinguish from finished wire imports
• Weigh and assay samples upon arrival; discrepancies trigger audits
• Bundle securely to prevent loss; loose scrap incurs higher handling duties

Molybdenum Turning Scrap
Scrap generated from machining molybdenum rods and bars, consisting of fine metal turnings and chips with high molybdenum content. Classified under HTS 8102.97.00.00 as waste and scrap of molybdenum, distinct from unwrought or semi-manufactured forms. Purity typically exceeds 99% molybdenum by weight.
Molybdenum Machining Swarf
Wet or dry swarf from CNC machining of molybdenum components, primarily metal fines and coolant-contaminated particles. Falls under HTS 8102.97.00.00 as molybdenum scrap unfit for direct reuse without processing. Excludes any finished articles or bars.
Molybdenum Electrode Scrap
Discarded ends and trimmings from molybdenum electrodes used in glass melting furnaces. This waste material is classified as molybdenum scrap under HTS 8102.97.00.00 due to its metallurgical grade and recycling suitability. Typically 99.9% pure molybdenum.
Molybdenum Furnace Lining Scrap
Scrap recovered from worn molybdenum furnace linings in high-temperature applications like sapphire crystal growth. Classified under HTS 8102.97.00.00 as molybdenum-containing waste, post-oxidation removal. Requires chemical recovery for reuse.
Molybdenum Sputtering Target Scrap
Used molybdenum targets from semiconductor thin-film deposition processes, machined to remove used surfaces. This high-purity scrap (99.99% Mo) falls under HTS 8102.97.00.00 for recycling into new targets. Cleaned but not remelted.
Molybdenum Alloy Machining Scrap
Turnings from machining TZM (titanium-zirconium-molybdenum) alloy parts, where molybdenum exceeds 99% of alloy content. Still classified as molybdenum scrap under HTS 8102.97.00.00 per Chapter 81 alloy notes. Used in aerospace components.
