Antimony-Bearing Type Metal Scrap
Scrap from linotype and stereotype printing plates made of antimony-lead-tin alloys, generated during print shop cleanups. Classified as antimony waste and scrap under HTS 8110.20.00.00 due to significant antimony content (10-25%). Used primarily for remelting in alloy production.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If lead content predominates over antimony
Lead waste/scrap takes precedence under Chapter 78 if lead exceeds other base metals per alloy definitions.
If significant tin content present
Tin-based alloy scrap shifts to Chapter 80 when tin is the primary base metal.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Require detailed alloy composition reports; type metal often borders classification with lead scrap (7802.00)
• Label shipments clearly as 'recycling scrap only' to prevent diversion and ensure Basel Convention compliance
• Check for radioactivity from legacy printing inks, which may trigger NRC import controls
