Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing mainly chromium, manganese, or slag from those
Residues shift to 2619 if primary metal is chromium/manganese instead of aluminum.
If further processed into salts of aluminum
Completion into metallic salts reclassifies from raw residues to finished inorganic chemicals.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include lab assays showing aluminum as primary content and presence of arsenic/metals to justify 2620 classification
• Declare intended industrial application (e.g
• metal recovery) in import docs to prevent environmental waste scrutiny
• Avoid bulk packaging without origin certification; pitfalls include duties hikes if deemed hazardous without proper handling plans
