No. 1 Bundles is a recognized ferrous scrap grade defined by the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), consisting of clean, compressed steel no thicker than a specified gauge — a premium feedstock for electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking. Classified at 7204410020, this grade commands a price premium over lower-quality scrap because of its consistent chemistry and density. Steel scrap imports are subject to Section 232 tariffs, making origin and quota status critical considerations for buyers sourcing from non-exempt countries.
