U.S. imports of ferrous turnings, chips, shavings, and machining scrap (HS 720441) totaled $61.8M in July 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Importers of Ferrous Turnings, Chips, Shavings, and Machining Scrap paid $17K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $170K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataMachining-derived ferrous scrap — turnings, borings, shavings, chips, and stampings from metalworking operations — is classified here and subdivided in the US schedule by bundle grade and form: No. 1 Bundles (7204410020), No. 2 Bundles (7204410040), borings and turnings (7204410060), and loose machining waste (7204410080). Mexico and Canada are the top suppliers, consistent with the dense cross-border manufacturing activity in automotive and industrial sectors. Loose turnings and chips often contain cutting fluids, which can complicate handling, storage, and port-of-entry compliance.

Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) specifications define No. 1 Bundles as compressed clean steel scrap from sheet or strip, while No. 2 Bundles may include painted, coated, or mixed light-gauge material. The distinction matters for mill acceptance and pricing, and the US tariff schedule mirrors these commercial grades in separate 10-digit lines (7204410020 and 7204410040).
Turnings and chips contaminated with oils or coolants may trigger EPA hazardous-waste review if the fluids are classified as hazardous under RCRA, and some ports require certification that the material is non-hazardous. Importers should obtain a material safety data sheet or waste characterization from the exporter and confirm the shipment does not meet hazardous-waste thresholds before entry.
