Zinc Ore with 5% Silver Content
Natural zinc ore concentrate containing approximately 5% silver by weight, extracted from silver-bearing zinc deposits. Classified under HTS 2608.00.0040 due to its significant silver content within zinc ores and concentrates. The silver is reported as the assay quantity without deductions per statistical notes.
Silver-Bearing Zinc Concentrate (10% Ag)
Flotation-processed zinc concentrate from polymetallic ores with 10% silver content, used in smelting for dual metal recovery. Falls under HTS 2608.00.0040 for zinc ores specifying silver content per assay. Excludes municipal waste residues per chapter notes.
Polymetallic Zinc-Silver Ore Fines
Crushed fines from zinc-silver polymetallic deposits with reportable silver content exceeding statistical thresholds. HTS 2608.00.0040 captures the silver portion in zinc ore hierarchy. Particle sizes exceed coarse iron ore definitions but are ore-specific.
High-Grade Zinc Concentrate with Silver
Premium zinc concentrate grading 30% Zn and 7% Ag from selective flotation, destined for electrolytic refining. Classified in HTS 2608.00.0040 for silver content in zinc ores. Assay-based reporting ensures accurate duty assessment.
