Rhenium Superalloy Scrap from China
Machining turnings and clippings from nickel-rhenium superalloys used in turbine blades, with rhenium as the key recovery element. Falls under HTS 8112.41.10.00 as rhenium waste and scrap since rhenium content defines its value despite alloy form. Recovered for aerospace and jet engine manufacturing.

Import Tips
• Submit detailed chemical analysis showing rhenium as principal metal to distinguish from nickel alloy scrap under 7503
• Declare as non-hazardous if clean turnings; contaminated scrap requires waste manifests under RCRA
