No, if your zinc has a purity of 99.99% or more, you should classify it under HS-6 790113.

What are common uses for unwrought zinc?

Unwrought zinc is commonly used in galvanizing steel, manufacturing batteries, and producing brass.

What is the difference between HS-6 790112 and HS-6 790113?

HS-6 790112 is for unwrought zinc with less than 99.99% zinc, while HS-6 790113 is for alloyed zinc or zinc with 99.99% or more purity.

How do I ensure compliance when exporting zinc?

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 790112 when importing or exporting unwrought zinc that contains less than 99.99% zinc by weight. This could include shipments of raw zinc metal used in various manufacturing processes, such as galvanizing steel.

This HS-6 code specifically covers unwrought zinc that is not alloyed. In contrast, HS-6 790113 applies to unwrought zinc that is alloyed, which can affect your classification and duties. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for compliance.

Zinc in this category is typically in the form of ingots or blocks. It's important to note that if your product contains 99.99% or more zinc, you would need to classify it under a different code, such as HS-6 790113.

When dealing with customs, ensure your documentation clearly states the zinc content and form. This will help avoid delays or misclassification during the import/export process.
