Zinc Pigs 99.92% Purity
Cast unwrought zinc pigs at 99.92% zinc content from primary smelting, ideal for remelting in galvanizing baths. HTS 7901.12.50.00 covers this as 'other' non-alloyed zinc under 99.99% purity per hierarchy. Aligns with zinc not alloyed definition (≥97.5% zinc).

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If with added aluminum or magnesium >2.5%
Exceeds zinc alloy threshold in chapter note (b), moving to 7901.20 'other' alloys.
If secondary zinc from residues <85% metallic zinc
Impure residues classify under Chapter 26 granulates, not pure unwrought zinc.
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
