Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If separated and containing mainly precious metals
Post-recovery precious metal residues classify as waste/scrap in Chapter 71.
If other metals predominate over copper
Subheading based on main metal content shifts within 2620 for non-copper primaries.
If processed into phosphorus copper compounds
Manufactured chemical compounds of copper move to Chapter 28 inorganic chemicals.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include detailed process flow docs proving electrorefining origin and copper dominance
• Report arsenic content if present, as 2620 covers arsenic-bearing residues for extraction
• Avoid bulk packaging without ventilation, as fines may trigger hazardous material regs
