I import exhaust parts made from steel. They are tarriffed as exhaust parts. Raw steel has its own import HTS code.
Right, but a microchip is quite a different beast than raw steel. Nobody is going to buy a muffler to melt down to produce something else, but they might buy a PC to scavenge for parts. It's relatively easy to pull a chip off a board, whereas reforming steel is a lot more intensive.
