This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
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 is classified under a different item.
If the zinc is alloyed with other metals exceeding 2.5% by weight
Alloyed zinc is classified separately from non-alloyed zinc.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the recycling process and provide a certificate of analysis to confirm the zinc content and absence of alloying elements
• Ensure the ingots meet the definition of unwrought zinc as per the chapter notes
• Be aware that secondary zinc may be subject to additional environmental regulations; consult Environment and Climate Change Canada if applicable
