Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If higher aluminum content making Al predominant
If aluminum > zinc by weight, classifies as unwrought aluminum alloys.
If remelt ingots from scrap with impurities
Zinc waste and scrap includes remelted alloys not suitable for direct alloy production.
If granulated and containing residues
Granulated zinc residues or dross fall under Chapter 26 for mineral products.
