Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for slab zinc of the same purity grade
Different forms of casting-grade zinc (slabs vs billets) have distinct subheadings.
If processed into bars, rods, or profiles
Any working beyond unwrought state moves to wrought zinc chapter 79 headings.
If zinc alloys predominating with >2.5% other metals
Chapter note (b) defines alloys separately from pure zinc classifications.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include foundry-grade specifications in commercial invoice to distinguish from slab zinc
• Check for anti-dumping duties on specific zinc origins; maintain origin certificates
• Label packages with exact composition to prevent customs reclassification
