Import Tips
• Include detailed chemical analysis reports confirming 'mainly zinc' composition to justify 2620 classification
• Label shipments clearly as 'industrial residues for metal recovery' to distinguish from scrap under Chapter 99
• Comply with TSCA import certifications for arsenic-containing materials
