Overview
This HTS category, 8102.97.00.00, specifically covers waste and scrap of molybdenum and articles thereof. This encompasses discarded or salvaged materials made from molybdenum, which can be in various forms such as shavings, turnings, dust, or pieces resulting from manufacturing processes or the dismantling of articles. The key defining characteristic is that these are residual materials that are no longer in their original manufactured form and are intended for reprocessing or recycling.
It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. For instance, unwrought molybdenum, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering, falls under 8102.94.00.00. Bars, rods, profiles, plates, sheets, strip, and foil, other than those obtained by simple sintering, are classified under 8102.95. Wire is specifically classified under 8102.96.00.00, and any other finished or semi-finished molybdenum articles not covered by the aforementioned categories are found under 8102.99.00.00. Therefore, 8102.97.00.00 is exclusively for the recovery and recycling of molybdenum-based materials.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, focusing solely on the identification of molybdenum waste and scrap as a distinct category within the broader classification of molybdenum articles. This ensures that these materials, which have a different economic and processing purpose compared to new products, are correctly identified for customs and trade purposes.
