Product caveats
Questions the HS/CN code cannot answer alone.
Is the product made entirely from material that has completed its lifecycle and would otherwise be discarded as waste?If yes: out of scope
By-products of a manufacturing process do not benefit from this exception — if the process used material that was not waste, the product stays in scope.
