Lead Smelter Arsenical Dross
Dross residue from lead smelting containing arsenic compounds, recovered specifically for arsenic extraction via leaching processes. This material qualifies for HTS 2620.60.10.00 as it serves no other industrial purpose beyond arsenic chemical production. Complies with heading 2620 limitations excluding iron/steel manufacture residues.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for recovery of base metals rather than arsenic
Primary metal extraction intent changes classification to other metal-bearing residues.
If in roasted manganese ore residue form
Mineral-specific roasted residues classify under manganese ore headings.
If sold as residual chemical waste mixture
Industrial chemical residuals not qualifying as slag may fall under waste treatment preparations.

Arsenic-Bearing Copper Smelter Slag
Residue from copper smelting processes containing significant arsenic content, primarily used in the extraction of arsenic through specialized hydrometallurgical methods. This slag falls under HTS 2620.60.10.00 as it is exclusively employed for arsenic recovery and not for metal extraction or other chemical manufacturing. It meets chapter note requirements for arsenic-containing residues used only for arsenic compound production.
Gold Refinery Arsenic Ash
Fine ash residue generated during gold refining roaster operations, rich in arsenic trioxide precursors, used solely for arsenic chemical compound manufacturing. Classified under HTS 2620.60.10.00 due to its specific industrial application in arsenic recovery circuits. Excludes use in metal extraction per legal heading definitions.
Arsenic-Rich Zinc Roast Clinker
Clinker from zinc roasting operations with high arsenic content, destined exclusively for arsenic recovery plants producing arsine gas or compounds. Falls precisely under HTS 2620.60.10.00 meeting the 'used only for extraction of arsenic' criterion in official descriptions. Not suitable for direct metal recovery.
Precious Metal Tailings Arsenic Residue
Arsenic-concentrated tailings from precious metal cyanidation circuits, used solely in dedicated arsenic chemical recovery facilities. HTS 2620.60.10.00 classification applies due to exclusive arsenic extraction purpose and compliance with slag/residue definitions. Excludes general mine tailings.
Arsenopyrite Flotation Tailings Concentrate
