News and Updates

Recent News
US-Ireland Trade Agreement Boosts Unwrought Metal Scrap Exports
A recent bilateral trade agreement between the United States and Ireland has facilitated an increase in exports of unwrought metal scrap (HS Code: relevant subheadings under chapters 72-81 for defective or damaged pigs, ingots, or billets). The agreement reduces tariffs on such materials destined for remanufacture, promoting circular economy practices.
2023-10-15
Impact: This agreement is expected to increase the volume of defective or damaged unwrought metal scrap exports from the US to Ireland, supporting metal recovery and remanufacturing industries in Ireland while providing US exporters with better market access.
Ireland Increases Demand for US Metal Scrap for Remanufacture
Irish metal processing firms have reported a surge in demand for US-sourced unwrought metal scrap and defective ingots for melting and remanufacture, driven by a shortage of domestic scrap and a push for sustainable production.
2023-09-20
Impact: This rising demand may lead to a steady growth in US exports of such materials to Ireland, potentially strengthening trade ties and benefiting US scrap metal suppliers.
US Environmental Regulations Impact Metal Scrap Trade with Ireland
New US environmental regulations on the export of metal waste and scrap, including unwrought metal for remanufacture, have introduced stricter documentation and compliance requirements, causing temporary delays in shipments to Ireland.
2023-08-05
Impact: These regulations could increase costs and slow down trade flows of unwrought metal scrap between the US and Ireland in the short term, though they aim to ensure sustainable and safe handling of materials.
Policy Updates
US-Ireland Tariff Reduction on Metal Scrap for Remanufacture
The US and Ireland have agreed to reduce tariffs on unwrought metal scrap, defective ingots, and billets (as classified under relevant HS codes) intended for remanufacture by melting or processing. This policy aims to encourage recycling and reduce waste.

Ireland Adopts EU Circular Economy Standards for Metal Imports
Ireland has implemented new EU regulations under the Circular Economy Action Plan, requiring detailed certification for imported metal scrap and defective materials (including unwrought metal for remanufacture) to ensure they meet environmental and safety standards.
