Zinc Dust for Rubber Vulcanization from China

High-purity zinc dust produced by condensation of zinc vapor, featuring spherical particles finer than 63 microns, used as an activator in rubber vulcanization processes. It meets Chapter 79 definitions with over 85% metallic zinc content and at least 80% passing a 63-micron sieve. Classified under HTS 7903.10.00.00 as zinc dust due to its production method and particle characteristics.

Import Tips

Verify zinc dust certification showing at least 85% metallic zinc and 80% of particles passing 63-micron sieve per Chapter 79 note (c)

Provide lab analysis reports during customs clearance to distinguish from zinc powders; misclassification as powder leads to rejection

Check for REACH compliance if importing to EU markets, as zinc dust is regulated for environmental release
