Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If iron-dominant with coarse particles over 4.75mm
Coarse iron ores use 2601.11.0060 per statistical definition, not copper-gold mixes.
If gold particles are liberated and concentrated separately
Synthetic or scrap gold in unwrought form moves to Chapter 71 precious metals.
If derived from municipal waste incineration
Ash and residues from waste incineration are excluded from 2620 and go to 2621.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label shipments clearly with gold assay details and particle size to distinguish from coarse ores
• Ensure Bill of Lading specifies 'gold content' for statistical reporting
• Pitfall: Mixing with non-gold copper ores can trigger reclassification audits
