Import Tips
• 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
