Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sold in bulk without silver assay breakout
General zinc ores without specified silver use the base subheading.
If roasted or calcined for processing
Thermal treatment changes classification from raw ore to processed antimony/metal ores.
If from municipal waste incineration
Chapter notes exclude waste ash to 2621, regardless of metal content.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Report silver content precisely via independent assays to match statistical note requirements
• Avoid packaging as retail; bulk industrial ores prevent shift to consumer goods classifications
• Differentiate from roasted ores, which may fall under other subheadings if chemically altered
