Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing precious metals but not primarily zinc ore
Precious metal ores and concentrates not classifiable as zinc go to 2616.90.
If refined gold extracted and in unwrought form
Processed gold bullion shifts from Chapter 26 ores to Chapter 71 metals.
If processed into slag or residue for metal recovery
Slags/ashes from zinc processing with gold fall under Heading 2620 per chapter notes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain certified assay reports specifying gold content without deductions for accurate statistical reporting
• Ensure documentation distinguishes zinc as principal metal per Chapter 26 notes to avoid reclassification
• Verify no smelting has occurred, as roasted ores fall under 2608.00.00.20
