Lead Smelter Slag Residues
Residues from lead smelting processes containing primarily lead compounds and arsenic, used in the recovery of lead or manufacture of lead chemicals. Classified under HTS 2620.29.0020 due to high lead content in slag form, excluding iron/steel production wastes. Meets Chapter 2620 note for industrial metal extraction residues.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from municipal waste incineration
Chapter note excludes such ash/residues from 2620, directing to heading 2621 for other ash.
If processed into lead oxide powder
Further refined lead compounds shift from slag/residues to Chapter 78 lead oxides.
If primarily zinc/lead calcines from roasting
Roasted residues containing lead classified under 2617, not general slag in 2620.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Report precise lead assay quantity per statistical note without deductions; obtain certified lab analysis
• Provide documentation proving industrial use for metal extraction to avoid reclassification to waste
• Ensure residues exclude municipal incineration ash to comply with Chapter 2620 exclusions
