Alternative Classifications

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

2621.90.00Same rate: 35%

If derived from municipal waste incineration

Chapter note excludes such ash/residues from 2620, directing to heading 2621 for other slag/ash.

2617.10.00Lower: Free vs 35%

If containing mainly antimony instead of lead

Heading 2617 covers slag/ash with mainly antimony; material composition shifts classification.

8549.19.00Lower: 17.5% vs 35%

If reprocessed into usable electrical waste form

If reworked beyond crude residue into electrical scrap, moves to Chapter 85 as waste of electrical goods.
