Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from municipal waste incineration
Chapter notes exclude ash/residues from municipal waste incineration, directing to heading 2621.
If refined into copper-zinc concentrates
Processed to ore concentrate form changes from slag/residue to roasted copper ores under Chapter 26.
If extracted and refined to zinc dust
Post-extraction refinement into zinc products falls under Chapter 79 for unwrought zinc.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Report assay zinc content precisely without deductions per statistical notes to avoid reclassification
• Provide smelter origin certificates proving industrial use for metal extraction to comply with Chapter 2620
• Test for arsenic levels; exceeding thresholds may shift to waste headings like 2621
