Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing mainly other metals like nickel
Heading 2620 distinguishes by principal metal; non-copper main content shifts to 2620.99 subheadings.
If from iron or steel manufacturing
Chapter notes exclude iron/steel slags from 2620, directing them to other headings like 2618 or 2620.19.
If ferro-copper slag for steelmaking
Ferrous slags used in steel production classify under Chapter 72 as artificial ferrosilicon equivalents.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit laboratory assays confirming lead content and copper predominance; declare if arsenic exceeds thresholds for hazmat handling; avoid bulk packaging pitfalls by specifying industrial non-retail use
