Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If refined unwrought lead content
If purity exceeds residue threshold, classifies as unwrought lead under 7801.
If municipal incinerator by-product
Chapter explicitly excludes municipal waste ash from 2620.
If from steelmaking processes
Ferrous metallurgical slag goes to Chapter 72.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify secondary smelter origin to distinguish from primary ore processing
• Use proper UN packaging for hazardous residues during ocean freight
• Monitor particle size if applicable, though not 'coarse' ore per notes
