Import Tips
• Verify scrap purity meets at least 97.5% zinc for unalloyed or predominant zinc content to avoid reclassification as residue from other chapters
• Provide documentation like chemical analysis certificates and origin declarations to prove it's genuine waste/scrap, not disguised primary metal
• Ensure no hazardous contamination (e.g
• oils, paints) as this could trigger EPA waste import regulations beyond tariff classification
