Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If remelted into alloy ingots
Unwrought zinc alloys become primary under 7901 once cast into standard shapes.
If molds and dies themselves scrapped
Die casting molds (even zinc) are Chapter 84 machinery parts.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Maintain traceability from specific die casting machines to validate as 'process scrap'
• Alloy-match consignments to buyer's furnaces to prevent mixing issues
• XRF scan certificates speed up border inspections

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.
