Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2616.90.00Higher: 35% vs 25%

If primarily precious metal content

Precious metal residues in 2616 take precedence over base metal slags in 2620.

2620Same rate: 25%

If sold as a set with other residues

Mixed slag sets may classify under 2620.90 if no principal metal dominates.

Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Declare precious metal traces separately if applicable; ensure slime state (not refined) for 2620; pitfall: confusing with 2616 for precious metal residues
