Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the zinc content is 99.99% or more by weight
Higher purity unwrought zinc falls under a different tariff item.
If the slabs are alloyed with other metals exceeding 2.5% by weight
Alloyed zinc is classified separately from non-alloyed zinc.
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
• Verify that the slabs are not alloyed and have a zinc content below 99.99% to ensure correct classification
• Include a detailed product description and purity analysis in your customs documentation
• Check if the slabs are subject to any anti-dumping or countervailing measures by consulting the CBSA's measures in force
