Arsenic-Bearing Lead Refinery Residue Zinc Content
Residues from lead refineries with high arsenic, mainly lead, and zinc content, utilized in arsenic or metal extraction industries. HTS 2620.29.0030 applies as 'zinc content' variant under mainly lead slag/ash, aligning with chapter note (b) for arsenic-containing industrial materials. Not from iron/steel production.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chemically processed for arsenic compounds
Further treatment into specific arsenic chemicals moves to Chapter 28 'inorganic compounds'.
If resembling coarse iron ore residues
Statistical note defines coarse ores; misfit could shift to Chapter 26 ore headings.
If from spent lead-acid battery recycling sold as set
Battery waste components may classify under Chapter 85 if sold as electrical industry scrap sets.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare exact zinc and arsenic content via independent lab tests to meet statistical note requirements
• Include end-user letters confirming use in metal/compound manufacture to prevent waste classification
• Watch for reclassification if particle size suggests 'coarse' ore traits, though not applicable here

Lead-Zinc Smelter Slag with Zinc Content
Residue from lead-zinc smelting operations containing mainly lead along with significant zinc content and traces of arsenic, used in the recovery of metals. Classified under HTS 2620.29.0030 due to its primary lead composition and zinc metal content, fitting the chapter note for industrial residues used for metal extraction. Excludes iron/steel manufacturing byproducts.
Secondary Lead Smelting Ash Zinc Bearing
Ash generated from secondary lead smelters incorporating zinc-rich scrap, primarily lead-based with zinc content and arsenic traces for chemical compound production. Falls under HTS 2620.29.0030 as 'other' residues containing mainly lead and zinc, per chapter note (b) for arsenic/metal uses. Intended for industrial metal recovery.
