Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product contains at least 97.5% zinc by weight and is not alloyed
Zinc not alloyed is classified separately from zinc alloys.
If the pigs are defective or unusable as feedstock and are sold for recycling
Waste and scrap of zinc is classified in heading 79.02.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the pigs are classified as unwrought zinc alloy and not as waste or scrap, which would fall under a different heading
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing zinc content and alloying elements to support classification
• Verify if the goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement by providing a valid certificate of origin
