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 pigs 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
• Confirm the pigs are non-alloyed and contain less than 99.99% zinc to meet the tariff item's specifications
• Provide a certificate of analysis to support the purity claim in your customs declaration
• Ensure the pigs are in unwrought form and not further processed, as this could change classification
