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.
