What is the difference between HS-6 790111 and HS-6 790112?

HS-6 790111 covers unwrought zinc that is not alloyed and contains 99.99% or more zinc, while HS-6 790112 includes alloyed zinc.

What types of products can I classify under HS-6 790111?

You can classify pure zinc ingots, blocks, slabs, and sheets that meet the purity requirement of 99.99% or more under HS-6 790111.

How do I ensure my zinc shipment meets the purity requirement?

You should obtain a certificate of analysis or similar documentation from your supplier that confirms the zinc content is 99.99% or higher.

Can I use HS-6 790111 for zinc used in batteries?

Yes, if the zinc is unwrought and meets the 99.99% purity requirement, it can be classified under HS-6 790111 for battery production.

What should I do if my zinc has less than 99.99% purity?

If your zinc has less than 99.99% purity, you will need to classify it under a different HS code that corresponds to its specific composition.

Is there a specific documentation required for importing HS-6 790111?

You will typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and possibly a certificate of analysis to confirm the zinc purity when importing HS-6 790111.

What are common uses for unwrought zinc classified under HS-6 790111?

Common uses include galvanizing steel, producing alloys, and manufacturing batteries, where high purity is essential for performance.

HS-6 · Subheading

790111

Zinc; unwrought, (not alloyed), containing by weight 99.99% or more of zinc

Heading 7901 — Zinc; unwrought

Chapter 79: Zinc and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 790111 when importing or exporting unwrought zinc that contains 99.99% or more zinc by weight. This code is crucial for shipments like pure zinc ingots or blocks intended for industrial applications.

This HS-6 line specifically covers unwrought zinc that is not alloyed, distinguishing it from HS-6 790112, which includes alloyed zinc. If your product is pure zinc, 790111 is the right choice.

Zinc is widely used in galvanizing steel, producing alloys, and manufacturing batteries. Ensure your shipment meets the purity requirement to avoid classification issues.

When considering zinc products, remember that the purity level is critical. Products with lower zinc content may fall under different HS codes, so verify the specifications before shipping.
