Alternative Classifications

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

2607.00.00Same rate: 35%

If unprocessed lead ore rather than slag

Ores and concentrates are Chapter 26 headings 2601-2617; state of completion determines.

2620.19.30Same rate: 35%

If containing mainly zinc, not lead

Lead-predominant sludges are 2620.21; zinc shifts to other 2620.19 subheading.

2815.12.00Same rate: 35%

If purified as calcium fluoride waste

If chemically separated into specific compounds, classifies by compound name in Chapter 28.
