Alternative Classifications

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

7901.11.00.00Lower: 26.5% vs 28%

If zinc content >=97.5% with other elements <=2.5%

Qualifies as unalloyed zinc per chapter note (a), shifting to the pure zinc subheading.

2620.99Lower: 10% vs 28%

If containing >=10% flue dust, fly ash, or similar residues

Chapter 26 covers slag/ash residues, including certain zinc-bearing materials not meeting pure alloy definitions.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 28%

If imported as prepared chemical additive with binders

Chemical preparations not elsewhere specified may apply if alloy is chemically treated beyond simple metal.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mill test certificates verifying zinc content >97.5% total metals with non-zinc >2.5% to confirm alloy status

Declare exact alloy composition (e.g

Zamak 3 specs) to avoid reclassification as pure zinc under 7901.11

Check for anti-dumping duties on certain zinc alloys from specific countries like China
