Lead Smelter Slag with Silver Residues
Residues from lead smelting processes containing significant silver content alongside arsenic and lead compounds, used for metal recovery. Classified under HTS 2620.29.0040 due to its primary lead composition and silver assay for extraction purposes. Excludes iron/steel manufacturing slags per chapter notes.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from municipal waste incineration
Chapter notes exclude such ash/residues from 2620, directing to heading 2621 for other slag/ash.
If from iron or steel manufacture
Ferrous slags fall under Chapter 72, not 2620 which specifies other than iron/steel origins.
If predominantly antimony content
If mainly antimony rather than lead, reclassifies to heading 2617 for specific metal residues.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Report assay quantity of silver content without deductions as per statistical notes; obtain certified lab analysis
• Ensure documentation proves industrial use for metal extraction to avoid reclassification under waste codes
• Comply with EPA regulations on arsenic-bearing materials; common pitfall is improper hazardous waste labeling
