👉 This material was imported duty-free as production raw material
👉 But scrap still contains recoverable copper (15% – 40%)
Scrap includes:
- Panel routing edge off-cuts
- Drill reject PCB
- Bare board warp reject
- Misprint solder mask board
- Copper laminate sheet leftover
- Inner layer laminate trimming
Copper inside laminate scrap has:
- High resale value
- Recoverable smelting potential
- Secondary market demand
Without inspection BOI may assume:
✔ Factory imported Copper duty-free
✔ Did minimal processing
✔ Sold copper into Thai domestic market as scrap
1. Before BOI Scrap Disposal Request
While applying for:
- Raw Material Write-off
- Scrap Generation Report
- F-STOCK Adjustment
- Sor.Kor. 1 Disposal Approval
Inspection confirms:
- Scrap origin from production
- Copper content %
- Non-recoverability for original PCB use
- Scrap generation yield loss
2. Before Selling to Local Recycler
Thailand has many buyers who purchase:
- PCB laminate off-cut
- Copper layer reject boards
- Routing skeleton
But BOI needs proof that:
✔ It cannot be reused as PCB
✔ Copper cannot be directly reclaimed in factory
✔ Sold as recycling input only
Inspection helps justify:
- Domestic sale approval
- Scrap value declaration
- Accounting write-off
3. Before Exporting PCB Scrap
If exporting to:
- Japan
- Korea
- Malaysia
- EU recyclers
Inspection confirms:
- Copper recovery ratio
- Resin contamination
- Metal composition
- Net recoverable weight
📍 WHERE Inspection Happens?
Normally at:
- PCB warehouse reject area
- Routing scrap storage zone
- SMT bare board quarantine
- Production yield loss yard
- Container loading point
