Chapter 79: Zinc and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 790700 when importing or exporting zinc articles that are not specifically classified elsewhere in Chapter 79. This includes items like zinc plates, rods, and other forms that do not fit into more specific categories.

This HS-6 line narrows down to articles made of zinc that don't have a specific designation. For example, if you have zinc sheets or castings that aren't detailed under other headings, this is the correct code.

In contrast, HS-6 7906 covers zinc powders and flakes, while HS-6 7905 pertains to zinc bars and rods. If your product is a zinc article but doesn't fit those descriptions, HS-6 790700 is likely your best option.

When dealing with zinc articles, it's essential to ensure that your products are indeed not classified under other specific HS-6 codes to avoid misclassification and potential customs issues.
