Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If lead content but different metal emphasis
Same subheading but statistical suffix for other metal contents within zinc/lead hierarchy.
If refined into zinc alloys or bars
Completion state changes from residue to wrought zinc products under Chapter 79.
If for bulk industrial chemical residues
If used primarily as chemical feedstock vs metal extraction, may shift to residual chemicals.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use XRF or wet chemistry for precise zinc content declaration without deductions
• Prepare for potential BIS export control checks if high arsenic deems it strategic material

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.
