Alternative Classifications

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

2620Same rate: 25%

If containing mainly lead

Lead-dominant slags use 2620.20, based on primary metal per subheading structure.

7112Lower: 10% vs 25%

If gold content recovered into waste/scrap form

Processed precious metal waste classifies under Chapter 71, not industrial residues.

7204Lower: 10% vs 25%

If from iron or steel manufacturing

Ferrous slags excluded from 2620 by hierarchy, directed to Chapter 72.
