Chapter 26: Ores, slag and ash
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2619 when importing slag, dross, or other waste materials from iron or steel production. For instance, if you're bringing in a shipment of steel mill slag for recycling, this code applies. Understanding the specific type of waste is crucial for proper classification and compliance.
When deciding between HS-6 lines, consider the nature of the material. HS-261900 covers all slag and dross that are not granulated. If your shipment consists of scalings or other waste from steel manufacturing, this code is appropriate. Ensure that your documentation accurately reflects the product's characteristics to avoid customs issues.
If you're unsure whether your product fits under this heading, examine the physical state and processing of your materials. For example, granulated slag has its own classification and would not fall under HS-4 2619. Always verify that your product aligns with the specific definitions to ensure compliance with customs regulations.
