Products classified under HTS 9817.00.90.80
Defective Aluminum Billets
Aluminum billets produced from melted down scrap that are cracked and cannot be commercially used without remelting and remanufacture. Classified under HTS 9817.00.90.80 as unwrought metal in billet form that is defective and fit only for metal recovery through melting. These meet the criteria of being produced without sweetening, alloying, or purifying for handling convenience.
Damaged Nickel Ingots
Nickel ingots with surface cracks and inclusions from scrap melting, unfit for direct casting into finished products. HTS 9817.00.90.80 applies as unwrought nickel defective or made from scrap without purifying, requiring remanufacture by melting for commercial use.
Remelt Magnesium Pig Iron
Magnesium pigs from scrap melting showing porosity defects, produced solely for handling convenience without fluxing. Cannot be used commercially until remelted and processed. Qualifies under 9817.00.90.80 as defective unwrought metal requiring remanufacture.
Shredded Stainless Steel Clippings
Pre-shredded stainless steel manufacturing clippings processed to fit only for melting recovery. HTS 9817.00.90.80 covers metal articles prepared by shredding for remanufacture, excluding direct fabrication use.
Compacted Titanium Scrap Blocks
Titanium alloy scrap compacted into blocks fit only for remelting recovery after shredding/shearing processing. Qualifies under 9817.00.90.80 as articles processed to render suitable solely for metal content recovery.
Defective Cobalt Ingots
Cobalt ingots from remelted scrap with gas porosity preventing commercial casting use. HTS 9817.00.90.80 applies to defective unwrought cobalt requiring remanufacture by melting.
Sheared Aluminum Sheet Scrap
Aluminum sheet remnants sheared into pieces fit only for shredding/melting recovery. Processed under 9817.00.90.80 criteria as metal articles rendered suitable solely for metal content recovery.
Porous Molybdenum Billets
Molybdenum billets from scrap melting exhibiting porosity preventing commercial fabrication. Qualifies under 9817.00.90.80 as defective unwrought metal requiring remelting remanufacture.
Cracked Superalloy Ingots
Nickel-based superalloy ingots with centerline cracks from scrap remelt, unfit for turbine blade casting. HTS 9817.00.90.80 covers defective unwrought alloys (except excluded metals) for remanufacture.
Compacted Beryllium Copper Scrap
Beryllium copper alloy scrap compacted after shredding, fit only for melting recovery. Qualifies under 9817.00.90.80 as processed metal articles for metal content recovery (copper content below exclusion threshold).
Damaged Zirconium Billets
Zirconium billets with surface defects from scrap remelt, requiring remelting for nuclear applications. HTS 9817.00.90.80 applies to defective unwrought zirconium for remanufacture.
Sheared Inconel Alloy Scrap
Inconel 718 alloy sheet scrap sheared into pieces fit only for remelting into new ingots. Processed under 9817.00.90.80 as metal articles rendered suitable solely for metal recovery.
Porous Tantalum Ingots
Tantalum ingots from scrap melting with internal porosity preventing capacitor foil rolling. HTS 9817.00.90.80 covers defective unwrought tantalum requiring remelting remanufacture.
Compacted Hastelloy Scrap
Hastelloy C-276 alloy scrap compacted after shredding for chemical processing applications remelt. Qualifies under 9817.00.90.80 as processed metal articles fit only for melting recovery.
Defective Titanium Sponge Fines
