Alternative Classifications

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

8109Same rate: 35%

If wire >0.32mm but <18mm diameter

Drawn wire articles under wrought 8109.90; scrap wire remains waste.

8544.49.90.00Higher: 38.9% vs 35%

If insulated EDM wire ends

Insulated electrical conductors shift to Chapter 85.

8207.90.60.00Higher: 39.3% vs 35%

If tool steel intermixed

Mixed tooling scrap under Chapter 82 base metal tools.
