99.99% Pure Zinc Ingots

High-purity zinc ingots containing 99.99% zinc by weight, used primarily in the production of zinc alloys and galvanizing processes. This unwrought zinc qualifies under HTS 7901.11.00.00 due to its exceptional purity level exceeding 97.5% zinc and specifically meeting the 99.99% threshold for non-alloyed zinc.

Alternative Classifications

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

7901.12Lower: 11.5% vs 26.5%

If purity drops below 99.99% but still over 97.5%

Zinc not alloyed but with purity between 97.5% and 99.99% falls under the next subheading in the same zinc not alloyed category.

7901.20.00.00Higher: 28% vs 26.5%

If contains zinc alloys with other metals exceeding 2.5%

Chapter note defines zinc alloys as those where zinc predominates but other elements total over 2.5%, shifting to the alloys heading.

2620.99Lower: 10% vs 26.5%

If in the form of zinc dross or skimmings

Ash and residues containing zinc, even high purity, are classified under Chapter 26 for slags and residues rather than unwrought metal.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify zinc purity via certified assay reports from accredited labs to confirm 99.99% content and avoid reclassification as lower purity zinc

• Provide mill test certificates (MTC) showing chemical composition; impurities must not exceed 0.01% total
