8111.00.30.00 - Waste and scrap

This HTS classification, 8111.00.30.00, specifically covers manganese waste and scrap. This includes discarded materials resulting from the manufacture or processing of manganese or its alloys, as well as worn-out or obsolete articles predominantly composed of manganese. Examples would include shavings, turnings, filings, and broken pieces of manganese metal, manganese alloys, or articles made from these materials that are no longer fit for their original purpose and are intended for reprocessing.

Within the broader category of "Manganese and articles thereof, including waste and scrap," this subcategory distinguishes itself by focusing solely on the waste and scrap forms of manganese. The sibling category, ": Other:", would likely encompass finished or semi-finished articles made from manganese or its alloys that are not classified elsewhere within Chapter 81. Therefore, the key differentiator is the material's state: waste and scrap versus usable articles.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 8111.00.30.00 hinges on the material being identifiable as manganese or an alloy thereof and being in a condition of waste or scrap, suitable for remelting or recycling. The intent for reuse and reprocessing is a primary consideration for this classification.
