Import Tips & Compliance
• Track maintenance records showing removal for wear beyond limits
• Weight and dimension specs confirming complete switch assemblies
• Distinguish from new replacement parts or short rail sections
Related Products under HTS 9817.00.90
Defective Aluminum Billets
Aluminum billets produced from melted down scrap that exhibit surface cracks and porosity, making them unsuitable for direct extrusion without remelting. Classified under HTS 9817.00.90 as unwrought aluminum in billet form that is defective and cannot be commercially used without remanufacture by melting. These meet the criteria for metal waste intended for metal recovery through remelting processes.
Damaged Nickel Ingots
Nickel ingots damaged during transportation with significant surface oxidation and cracks, produced from scrap melting without alloying or purifying. These ingots cannot be used commercially without remelting and fall under HTS 9817.00.90 as defective unwrought metal intended for remanufacture. They require complete remelting for recovery of nickel content.
Scrap-Derived Titanium Billets
Titanium billets produced by melting scrap metal for handling convenience, containing inclusions and inconsistent composition preventing commercial forging. Falls under HTS 9817.00.90 as defective unwrought titanium requiring complete remelting for metal recovery. No alloying or purifying processes applied during scrap melting.
Contaminated Cobalt Ingots
Cobalt ingots from scrap melting containing tramp elements and inconsistent alloy composition, unfit for commercial casting without remelting. HTS 9817.00.90 classification applies as unwrought defective metal produced from scrap without sweetening or alloying. Intended solely for cobalt recovery through melting.
Porous Tin Billets
Tin billets cast from remelted scrap exhibiting porosity and oxide inclusions throughout, preventing commercial soldering applications. Classified HTS 9817.00.90 as defective unwrought tin requiring complete remelting for metal content recovery. No fluxing or deliberate purifying during production.
Sheared Aluminum Sheet Scrap
Aluminum sheet clippings from fabrication operations, sheared into compact bundles fit only for melting recovery. Processed by shearing to render suitable solely for aluminum content recovery per HTS 9817.00.90 criteria. Cannot be commercially flattened or reused without remelting.
