Copper-Bearing Lead Slag from Smelting
This is slag residue generated during lead smelting processes, containing primarily lead with significant copper content and arsenic compounds. It falls under HTS 2620.29.0010 as it is 'other' slag (not from iron/steel) containing mainly lead, reported under copper content per statistical notes. Used industrially for metal recovery.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing mainly zinc instead of lead
Slag with primarily zinc content shifts to the zinc subheading within the same lead/arsenic residues group.
If roasted and primarily zinc-based
Roasted zinc residues or calcines are classified separately under heading 2613, not as general slag/ash.
If derived from municipal waste incineration
Chapter notes exclude such ash/residues from 2620, directing them to heading 2621 for other wastes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Report exact copper assay quantity without deductions as per statistical notes; provide certified lab analysis
• Ensure documentation proves industrial use for metal extraction to avoid misclassification under waste headings
• Verify absence of municipal waste incineration residues, as those fall under 2621
