7602.00.00.95 - Recyclable aluminum from industrial processes, including turnings, borings, shavings, filings, clippings and chips

This HTS classification, 7602.00.00.95, specifically addresses recyclable aluminum derived from industrial manufacturing processes. It encompasses a range of aluminum scrap forms such as turnings, borings, shavings, filings, clippings, and chips. These materials are typically generated as byproducts during machining, fabrication, or other industrial operations involving aluminum. The key characteristic is their origin from industrial waste streams, distinguishing them from post-consumer scrap.

It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, 7602.00.00.35, which is dedicated to recyclable aluminum sourced from used beverage containers. Unlike the general industrial scrap classified here, beverage containers have a distinct origin and often a specific collection and recycling infrastructure. Furthermore, this code is distinct from 7602.00.00.97 ("Other recyclable aluminum") and 7602.00.00.98 ("Other"), as it specifically targets the described forms of industrial aluminum scrap.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification for 7602.00.00.95 is definitive for the enumerated forms of industrial aluminum scrap. Importers and exporters should ensure that the materials being declared precisely match the description of industrial process byproducts, such as turnings, borings, shavings, filings, clippings, and chips, to ensure accurate classification and compliance.
