Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If considered parts of semiconductor equipment
New or repairable sputter targets remain machinery parts under Chapter 84.
If part of assembled electrical assemblies
Scrap from electrical/electronic assemblies uses Chapter 85 headings.
If ferrochromium alloy targets
Iron-based alloys shift to Chapter 72 scrap classifications.

Our AI classifier can analyze your specific product and recommend the correct HTS code with confidence.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide PVD equipment logs showing >50% material erosion for scrap determination
• Classify clean scrap separately from sputter chamber dust (potential hazardous waste)
• Use HTS advisory rulings for high-value lots exceeding $10K

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 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.
Spent Chromium Cathodes from Electrolytic Refining
Exhausted cathode sheets from electrolytic chromium recovery cells in metal finishing plants. HTS 8112.22.00.00 for this pure chromium scrap form, dissolved during purification cycles. High recovery yield after re-dissolution.
