Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the zinc content is 99.99% or higher
Zinc not alloyed, with a higher purity threshold, falls under a different tariff item.
If the product is in powder or dust form
Zinc powders and dust are classified separately from unwrought zinc alloys.
