Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the macadam is tarred or incorporates tar
This subheading specifically covers tarred macadam, which is a distinct product from untarred gravel blends.
If the product is primarily slag, not a mixture with natural stone
Heading 2619 covers slag, dross, scalings and other waste from the manufacture of iron or steel, which is the source material for such blends.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the blend is not tarred, as tarred macadam falls under a separate tariff item
• Provide a breakdown of the components (slag, dross, natural stone) to support classification
• Check if the slag is considered a waste product under Canadian environmental regulations, which may require additional permits
