Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the zinc content is 97.5% or more and alloying elements are minimal
Unalloyed zinc is a separate tariff item.
If the ingots are defective or unusable and sold for remelting as scrap
Zinc waste and scrap is classified in heading 79.02.
