Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in unwrought bars or powder form for direct use
Unwrought chromium products (not scrap) use the bars/powder subheading.
If sized for welding electrodes
Coated electrodes and rods classify under Chapter 83.

Our AI classifier can analyze your specific product and recommend the correct HTS code with confidence.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide particle size distribution (PSD) confirming powder morphology
• Classify non-conforming lots separately from prime powder (potential unwrought metal)
• Anti-dumping checks apply if from certain countries

Chromium Metal Scrap from Electroplating Operations
Waste chromium metal generated from electroplating baths and rinsing processes in manufacturing facilities. Classified under HTS 8112.22.00.00 as scrap of chromium, one of the specified base metals in Chapter 81. This scrap typically contains high-purity chromium remnants unsuitable for direct reuse without refining.
Industrial Chromium Turning Scrap
Machining turnings and chips from high-purity chromium rods used in aerospace and electronics. Falls under HTS 8112.22.00.00 as chromium scrap, distinct from common steel turnings due to its base metal purity. Recyclers melt and refine it for new chromium production.
Chromium Evaporation Boat Scrap
Discarded chromium boats used in vacuum evaporation for thin-film coating in optics and electronics manufacturing. HTS 8112.22.00.00 covers this as articles of chromium converted to scrap after single-use deposition cycles. Purity maintained for thin-film applications.
High-Purity Chromium Foil Scrap
Trimmings and rejects from ultra-thin chromium foil rolls used in architectural glass coatings and flex circuits. Under HTS 8112.22.00.00 as chromium waste/scrap, valued for 99.99% purity in sputtering targets. Generated during precision slitting operations.
Chromium Sputtering Target Scrap
Spent chromium targets from physical vapor deposition (PVD) systems in semiconductor and hard disk manufacturing. HTS 8112.22.00.00 applies to this high-value scrap, recovered after erosion during thin-film deposition. Remelted directly into new targets.
Chromium Wire Drawing Waste
Scrap from drawing high-purity chromium wire for thermocouples and heating elements. Classified HTS 8112.22.00.00 as chromium scrap from wire production breakages and trim ends. Difficult to recycle due to work-hardening.
