Alternative Classifications

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

2617.90.00Same rate: 35%

If residues from zinc/lead ore processing

Other metal ore residues (e.g., zinc/lead) without primary gold/arsenic focus go to 2617.

2620.19Lower: 10% vs 35%

If from iron or steel manufacture

Residues originating from iron/steel production are classified in 2620.19, excluding this 'other' subheading.

2603.00.00Lower: Free vs 35%

If unprocessed copper ores with gold

Raw copper ores remain in Chapter 26 heading 2603, not as processed residues.
