2619.00.90.00 - Other

This classification, 2619.00.90.00, covers residual materials generated during the manufacture of iron and steel that are not specifically classified elsewhere within heading 2619. It encompasses a broad range of byproducts, including slag, dross (excluding granulated slag), and scale, provided they do not meet the specific definition of "ferrous scale" under subheading 2619.00.30.00. The key distinguishing factor is the material's origin and its residual nature after primary iron and steel production processes.

To differentiate from the sibling category, 2619.00.30.00, this subheading is for waste materials from iron and steel manufacture that are not specifically identifiable as "ferrous scale." Ferrous scale typically refers to iron oxides formed on the surface of hot metal during processing. This category, therefore, captures a wider array of incidental residues, such as metallurgical slags that may be less rich in iron content or have different physical properties than those considered ferrous scale.

As this is a terminal classification (leaf node), there are no further subcategories within 2619.00.90.00. Classification decisions at this level will rely on the careful examination of the material's composition, origin, and processing history to confirm it falls outside the more specific provisions within heading 2619 and is not otherwise classifiable. The residual nature and origin from iron or steel manufacturing are paramount for accurate classification.
