Overview
This HTS category, HTS Code 7404.00.60.55, specifically addresses "Other" waste and scrap of copper alloys that do not fall into more precisely defined subcategories. It covers forms of discarded copper alloys, such as shavings, turnings, filings, and other manufactured residues, that are not classified as copper-zinc base alloys (brass) with more than 0.3 percent lead. The key characteristic is that these are recovered materials, intended for remelting and reprocessing, and their composition does not meet the specific criteria of other brass scrap categories.
The distinction of this category lies in its exclusion of specific brass compositions. For instance, it is differentiated from HTS 7404.00.60.45, which specifically enumerates brass scrap containing more than 0.3 percent of lead. Therefore, this "Other" category captures brass waste and scrap that either contains 0.3 percent or less of lead, or is comprised of other copper alloys not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the broader "Of copper-zinc base alloys (brass)" heading.
As this is a terminal node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading relies on identifying the material as waste or scrap of a copper alloy, excluding it from more specific brass categories based on lead content, and ensuring it is not covered by other distinct waste and scrap classifications for copper and its alloys.
