HS-4 · Heading
7904 — Zinc; bars, rods, profiles and wire
Chapter 79: Zinc and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7904 when importing zinc in the form of bars, rods, profiles, or wire. For example, if you're shipping a container of zinc wire used in electrical applications, this is the correct code to use.
When deciding between HS-6 lines, consider the specific form of zinc you're dealing with. 790400 covers all types of zinc bars, rods, profiles, and wire, so if your product fits into any of these categories, this code applies.
If you have zinc products that are not in the form of bars, rods, profiles, or wire, you will need to look at other headings under Chapter 79. For instance, zinc powders or flakes fall under different classifications and would not be covered by HS-4 7904.
