8110.20.00.00 - Waste and scrap

This HTS category, 8110.20.00.00, specifically covers waste and scrap of antimony. This includes discarded materials, residues, and by-products that are primarily composed of antimony and are intended for remelting or reprocessing. Examples would include antimony dross, antimony-bearing slag, and used antimony metal products that are no longer functional in their original form. The key characteristic is that the material is considered waste or scrap and not a refined or manufactured antimony product.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 8110.10.00.00, which pertains to unwrought antimony and powders. While both relate to antimony, 8110.10.00.00 covers antimony in its primary, elemental, or powdered form, ready for immediate use in manufacturing. In contrast, 8110.20.00.00 is exclusively for materials that are considered waste or scrap, requiring further processing to recover or refine the antimony content.

As a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this category. Therefore, classification under 8110.20.00.00 relies on identifying the material as waste or scrap of antimony, intended for recycling or recovery, and distinguishing it from the more refined forms covered by other headings. The physical state and intended use for reprocessing are critical factors in accurate classification.
