Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from municipal waste incineration
Chapter notes exclude incineration residues from Heading 2620, directing them to 2621 for all other slag/ash/residues.
If containing mainly lead without zinc predominance
If lead is the primary metal, it shifts to Heading 2619 for slag/ash from other smelting containing mainly lead.
If derived from iron or steel manufacture
Ferrous slags fall under Chapter 72 Heading 7204, excluded from Chapter 26 per hierarchy.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain chemical assay reports certifying lead content and zinc predominance for accurate HTS classification and statistical reporting
• Comply with EPA TSCA and hazardous waste regulations; provide residue origin documentation to avoid misclassification as municipal ash
• Ensure industrial end-use declaration to qualify under Heading 2620; bulk shipments require proper ventilation and labeling
