Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the zinc content is at least 97.5% and alloying elements are within the unalloyed threshold
Unalloyed zinc is classified separately.
If the ingots are defective or off-spec and sold for remelting as scrap
Zinc waste and scrap falls under heading 79.02.
