Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7901.11.00.00Lower: 26.5% vs 39.2%

If in unwrought form like pigs or slabs

Unwrought zinc (not shaped into bars) falls under Chapter 79 heading 7901 for refined zinc.

7907.00Lower: 13% vs 39.2%

If zinc predominates but other elements exceed 2.5%

Zinc alloys shift to heading 7907, as they do not qualify as 'not alloyed' pure zinc.

7228.30Lower: 10% vs 39.2%

If coated onto steel wire as galvanized product

Galvanized steel articles are classified by base material (iron/steel) in Chapter 72, not as zinc wire.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify zinc purity certificate showing at least 97.5% zinc content to meet 'not alloyed' definition and avoid reclassification

Provide mill test reports confirming bar form and dimensions; common pitfall is mislabeling rods as bars

Declare exact weight and HS code precisely to prevent valuation disputes during customs inspection
