Zinc Anode Scrap from Cathodic Protection from Japan
Zinc anode scrap comes from spent sacrificial anodes used in cathodic protection systems on ship hulls, pipelines, and offshore platforms. These anodes are consumed over time and are replaced, with the remnants collected as scrap for recycling into new anodes or other zinc products, qualifying under tariff item 7902.00.00 as zinc waste and scrap.

Import Tips
• Remove any steel cores or attachments from the anodes before shipping, as mixed metals may complicate classification
• Document the original anode specifications and the degree of consumption to demonstrate the scrap nature
• Verify whether the scrap meets Canadian recycling standards and if any import permits are needed
