Overview
This HTS category, 7204.41.00.20, specifically covers "No. 1 bundles" of ferrous waste and scrap. These are compacted masses of metal turnings, shavings, chips, milling waste, sawdust, filings, trimmings, and stampings, all derived from iron or steel. The "No. 1" designation typically refers to a higher quality or specific processing standard for these bundled scrap materials, often indicating a cleaner composition and less contamination compared to other grades.
It is important to distinguish "No. 1 bundles" from its sibling categories. Unlike 7204.41.00.40, which covers "No. 2 bundles" of similar materials, "No. 1 bundles" generally represent a more refined or preferred grade of scrap. Furthermore, this classification is distinct from 7204.41.00.60, which specifically refers to borings, shovelings, and turnings that may not be in bundled form, and 7204.41.00.80, which encompasses all other miscellaneous waste and scrap falling under the broader "Other waste and scrap" heading that does not fit the more specific subcategories.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 7204.41.00.20. Classification at this level relies on confirming that the material consists of the specified forms of iron and steel waste and scrap, is presented in bundles, and meets the criteria defining "No. 1" bundles as per industry standards or specific importer/exporter agreements that inform customs declarations. The primary classification criterion is the bundled form of these processed iron and steel byproducts, with the "No. 1" designation signifying a particular grade.
