Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 790500 when importing or exporting zinc plates, sheets, strips, or foils. For instance, if you're shipping a roll of zinc foil used in electrical applications, this is the correct code.

This code specifically covers flat products made of zinc, which can be used in various applications from construction to manufacturing. It's important to distinguish it from HS-6 7904, which deals with zinc powders and flakes.

When classifying under this heading, ensure your product is indeed a flat form of zinc. If you're dealing with zinc alloys or other forms, you may need to look at different codes.

Zinc plates and sheets can vary in thickness and size, impacting their classification. For example, a 2mm thick zinc sheet used in roofing would still fall under this HS-6.
