Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If silver or PGMs exceed gold with zinc present
Other precious metal concentrates with zinc fall under the general 'other metal content' statistical note.
If copper content dominates in polymetallic ore
Copper ores/concentrates including gold-zinc take precedence under heading 2603.
If roasted or calcined for further processing
Roasted antimonial ores with zinc may shift classification per processing state.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit detailed flotation process reports and metal assays to verify precious metal primacy over base metals
• Label shipments clearly as 'precious metal ore concentrate - zinc content' to facilitate customs examination
• Watch for undervaluation penalties; declare full zinc and precious metal values separately
