Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as sealed lead-acid battery scrap
Intact battery scrap may classify under Chapter 85 as electrical waste rather than residues.
If containing mainly zinc instead of lead
Primary zinc content directs to the zinc subheading within 2620.
If further processed into metaliferous compounds
Advanced chemical compounds of metals fall under heading 3825.
