Products classified under HTS 7902.00.00.00
Zinc Die Casting Scrap
Scrap generated from zinc die casting operations in automotive and hardware manufacturing, consisting primarily of zinc alloy trimmings and rejected parts. Classified under HTS 7902.00.00.00 as zinc waste and scrap because it is unalloyed or alloyed zinc residues unfit for direct use but suitable for remelting and recycling.
Zinc Galvanizing Kettle Dross
Dross and skimmings collected from molten zinc baths used in hot-dip galvanizing of steel sheets and structures. Falls under HTS 7902.00.00.00 as zinc waste and scrap due to its form as oxidation impurities and metallic zinc mixture suitable only for recycling.
Used Zinc Roof Flashing Scrap
Demolition scrap from corrugated zinc sheets and flashing used in roofing and cladding, often unalloyed rolled zinc. Classified as HTS 7902.00.00.00 zinc waste and scrap when collected from construction sites for recycling into new sheets.
Zinc Battery End-of-Life Scrap
Scrap from recycled alkaline or zinc-carbon batteries, primarily zinc casings and anodes. Under HTS 7902.00.00.00 as zinc waste and scrap when processed to separate metallic zinc for recovery.
Zinc Alloy Machining Turnings
Fine turnings and borings from CNC machining of zinc alloy parts for locks, gears, and fittings. HTS 7902.00.00.00 applies as zinc-predominant alloy scrap for remelting in die casting foundries.
Zinc Anode Scrap from Cathodic Protection
Spent zinc anodes used in sacrificial cathodic protection for ship hulls, pipelines, and offshore platforms. Classified under HTS 7902.00.00.00 as marine zinc waste and scrap recyclable into new anodes.
Zinc Powder Manufacturing Dust
Oversized or off-spec zinc dust collected from atomization processes, finer than powders but not meeting Chapter note (c) specs. HTS 7902.00.00.00 as zinc waste and scrap for reprocessing.
Recycled Zinc Lithography Plate Scrap
Used printing plates from offset lithography presses, typically pure rolled zinc. Under HTS 7902.00.00.00 as zinc waste and scrap from graphic arts industry recycling.
Zinc Die Casting Gate and Riser Scrap
Excess metal from gates, risers, and overflows in high-pressure zinc die casting of Zamak alloy components. HTS 7902.00.00.00 classifies this clean revert scrap for in-house remelting.
Zinc Sheet Rolled Goods Borings
Punchings and borings from fabricating zinc roofing sheets, gutters, and ornamental trim. As zinc waste and scrap under HTS 7902.00.00.00 for recycling back into sheet production.
