Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 811020 when importing or exporting waste and scrap made from antimony. For example, if you're dealing with leftover antimony from manufacturing processes, this code applies.
This HS-6 specifically covers waste and scrap forms of antimony, distinguishing it from other forms such as pure antimony or antimony alloys. If you have a shipment of antimony trioxide, for instance, you would not use this code.
When classifying materials under HS-4 8110, it’s important to note that this heading includes not just waste and scrap but also articles made from antimony. If you're unsure whether your product is waste or a finished article, consult with a customs broker.
Antimony waste can come in various forms, such as offcuts from metal processing or residues from recycling operations. Understanding the exact nature of your material will help ensure correct classification.
