HS-4 · Heading
7901 — Zinc; unwrought
Chapter 79: Zinc and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7901 when importing unwrought zinc, such as pure zinc ingots or blocks. For instance, if you're receiving a shipment of zinc bars with a purity of 99.99%, this code is applicable.
When deciding between subheadings, consider the zinc purity. HS-6 790111 is for unwrought zinc that is 99.99% pure or higher, while HS-6 790112 covers unwrought zinc with less than 99.99% purity. If your product falls into the latter category, ensure you classify it correctly to avoid issues.
If your shipment includes zinc alloys, you'll need to use HS-6 790120. This subheading applies to any unwrought zinc that is mixed with other metals. Knowing the composition of your zinc is crucial for proper classification.
