As per business dictionary “scrap” means “waste that either has no economic value or only the value of its basic material content recoverable through recycling”
The term “Scrap” has not been defined any where in the GST Laws. As such one can derive its meaning as per normal business or commerce parlance. In GST regime, in order to be taxable the waste and scrap don’t have to pass the test of “manufacture” or “mechanical process” or marketability.
While taxability of waste and scrap is no longer contentious, finding proper HSN code is definitely a tedious task. The highest rate for scraps material is 18%.

As a conservative approach , if some one does not find appropriate HSN code of a scrap item, he may cover the same under residual Entry 453 of Schedule III of Notification No. 1/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June, 2017.
