Last updated: August 2026 dataAt the six-digit schedule level, this node aggregates recoverable residues and discarded materials before they are allocated to commodity-specific tariff lines covering metals, paper, glass, rubber, and other scrap streams. Trade professionals should note that the applicable duty rate, and any trade remedy exposure such as Section 232, is determined at the more granular product-specific level rather than at this aggregate node. Proper grade identification and mill or processor documentation are essential for smooth customs clearance.

No — this node functions as a structural grouping in the schedule. Actual duty rates, tariff-rate quotas, and trade remedy applicability are assigned at the more specific product-level tariff lines beneath it. Importers must classify to the correct subordinate line to determine their duty liability.
Standard entry documentation applies, but importers should also be prepared to provide material composition certifications, scrap grade specifications, and evidence of the intended recycling or reprocessing end use. For metal scrap subject to Section 232 measures, country-of-origin documentation is particularly important.
