7204.41.00 - Turnings, shavings, chips, milling waste, sawdust, filings, trimmings and stampings, whether or not in bundles

HTS code 7204.41.00 encompasses a broad range of fragmented iron and steel materials generated from manufacturing processes. This category specifically includes turnings, shavings, chips, milling waste, sawdust, filings, trimmings, and stampings, regardless of whether these materials are compressed into bundles. These are all by-products of machining, cutting, or shaping iron and steel, often characterized by their irregular shapes and sizes, and are typically intended for remelting and reprocessing into new steel products.

This specific subcategory, "Turnings, shavings, chips, milling waste, sawdust, filings, trimmings and stampings, whether or not in bundles," distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 7204.49.00 "Other," by explicitly defining the physical forms of the waste and scrap. While 7204.49.00 would cover any ferrous waste and scrap not specifically detailed in other subheadings, 7204.41.00 provides a more granular classification for these commonly generated manufacturing remnants.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on presentation and form. The subcategories like "No. 1 bundles," "No. 2 bundles," and "Borings, shovelings and turnings" differentiate based on the degree of processing or compaction. "No. 1 bundles" and "No. 2 bundles" likely refer to specific bundling standards or compositions, while "Borings, shovelings and turnings" are more specific descriptions of the types of waste generated from drilling and machining operations. The "Other" subcategory within this level serves as a catch-all for any forms of these fragmented materials that do not fit into the more precisely defined subcategories.
