Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If processed into zinc phosphate compounds
Chemical compounds of zinc classify under Chapter 28 phosphites/phosphates.
If high antimony content over copper
Antimony-bearing zinc slag has dedicated subheading before 'other'.
If refined mainly as zinc dust or powder
Zinc powders and flakes move to Chapter 79.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use certified lab assays for precise copper quantity reporting as required
• Differentiate from waste in bills of lading to prevent 2621 reclassification
• Bulk packaging preferred; retail packs may alter duty treatment
