Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing mainly zinc but not gold content reported
Non-gold statistical variants under zinc slag stay in 2620.19 but different subheading.
If mixed with ferrous materials from steel processes
Any iron/steel slag component dominates classification under Chapter 72.
If high gold concentration treated as waste/scratch
If gold content exceeds typical slag levels, it may classify as precious metal waste.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include origin certificates detailing foundry process to confirm non-iron/steel manufacture
• Report gold content via precise metallurgical assays as required by statistical notes
• Avoid common pitfall of bulk packaging mislabeled as ore, which could trigger Chapter 26 ore headings

Zinc Smelter Gold-Bearing Slag
Residue slag from zinc smelting processes containing primarily zinc compounds with trace gold content, used in industry for metal recovery. Classified under HTS 2620.19.60.50 due to its main zinc composition and gold content as per statistical reporting. Excludes iron/steel manufacture residues and municipal waste ash.
Secondary Zinc Refinery Ash with Gold
Ash generated from secondary zinc refining operations, primarily zinc-based with gold impurities, suitable for recovering precious metals. Falls under HTS 2620.19.60.50 for non-iron/steel slag/ash containing mainly zinc and gold content. Used industrially for chemical compound manufacture.
Galvanizing Plant Zinc Ash Gold Impurity
Ash from hot-dip galvanizing plants, mainly zinc dross with minor gold content from alloy recycling, for metal recovery. Classified in HTS 2620.19.60.50 as zinc-dominant residues containing metals/gold, not from iron/steel primary production. Industrial use only.
Zinc Die Casting Residue with Gold
Residues from zinc die casting operations, primarily zinc with gold traces from scrap inputs, used for extraction. HTS 2620.19.60.50 covers such slag/ash containing mainly zinc and gold content for industrial metal recovery.
