Zinc Ingot Bars
Pure zinc ingot bars, typically cast into rectangular shapes for further processing in metalworking industries. Classified under HTS 7904.00.00.00 as zinc bars containing at least 97.5% zinc by weight, not alloyed. Used primarily for die-casting and galvanizing applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in unwrought form like pigs or slabs
Unwrought zinc (not shaped into bars) falls under Chapter 79 heading 7901 for refined zinc.
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.
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
