Alternative Classifications

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

7901.20.00.00Higher: 28% vs 26.5%

If with added aluminum or magnesium >2.5%

Exceeds zinc alloy threshold in chapter note (b), moving to 7901.20 'other' alloys.

2618.00.00.00Higher: 35% vs 26.5%

If secondary zinc from residues <85% metallic zinc

Impure residues classify under Chapter 26 granulates, not pure unwrought zinc.

7904.00.00.00Higher: 39.2% vs 26.5%

If recycled zinc scrap content

Waste/scrap zinc, even high purity, falls under 7904 regardless of form.

Import Tips & Compliance

Use spectrographic analysis certificates to prove <99.99% zinc and non-alloy status during customs exam

Avoid declaring as scrap (7904) by providing smelter origin docs showing primary production
