Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as parts of computers
Usable or repairable motherboard assemblies classify as computer parts, not scrap.
If for electrical parts of machinery
Scrap from unspecified electrical machinery without precious metal focus goes to other electrical parts.
If containing significant silver content
Silver-bearing granular refinery waste classifies under Chapter 26 for specific metal compounds.
