Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If derived from municipal waste incineration
Ash/residues from municipal waste fall under 2621, explicitly excluded from 2620.
If roasted zinc oxide residues without gold content
Pure zinc calcine or roasted residues shift to Chapter 26 heading for specific metal ores/concentrates.
If from iron or steel manufacture
Ferrous slag residues are classified under Chapter 72, excluded from 2620.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Report exact gold assay quantity without deductions per statistical notes for accurate duty assessment
• Provide chemical composition certificates confirming mainly zinc content and arsenic/metals presence to avoid misclassification
• Ensure documentation proves industrial use for metal extraction, not waste disposal, to comply with heading 2620 restrictions
