Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2620.19.30Same rate: 35%

If containing mainly zinc but lead-dominant compounds

Specific subheading for zinc slag with lead before 'other' copper content category.

7402.00.00Lower: 25% vs 35%

If recovered as copper matte or high-purity copper residue

Unrefined copper products move to Chapter 74 for metal-specific headings.

2620Same rate: 35%

If sold as a set with extraction chemicals

May classify as compound manufacture basis under other 2620 residues if bundled.
