Alternative Classifications

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

2620.99.50Lower: 25% vs 35%

If containing mainly other metals like lead

Residues mainly of other metals shift to 2620.99, not mainly zinc subheading.

7901Lower: 13% vs 35%

If refined zinc content exceeds slag residue form

Processed zinc ingots or refined metal classify under Chapter 79 as unwrought zinc.

3825.30.00Lower: 17.5% vs 35%

If for industrial waste residues not for metal extraction

If not used for metal recovery or chemical compounds, may fall under residual products of chemical industries.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit lab assays confirming 'zinc content' for statistical reporting as per HTS notes

Verify not classified as hazardous waste; obtain end-user certificates for industrial application

Avoid common pitfalls by distinguishing from bulk zinc waste under Chapter 26 waste headings
