Zinc HS Code description
Zinc harmonized system code
Product Overview Zinc classified under HTS 7901.11 is unwrought, commercially pure zinc intended for industrial processing and re‑melting. Product definition: primary and secondary zinc metal with nominal zinc content typically ≥99.9% by mass (commercial grades frequently 99.90–99.995%), supplied in unwrought forms. Key characteristics: density ~7.14 g/cm3, melting point 419.5 °C, delivered as ingots/sows, slabs, pigs, billets, granules or powdered dust; typical ingot mass 10–500 kg; granule and powder particle size ranges specified by mesh/µm. Processing levels: electrolytically refined or pyrometallurgical; degree of deoxidation and residual impurity limits (Pb, Fe, Cd, Cu) determined to trade specification. Product classifications within 7901.11 include unwrought not‑alloyed cast ingots, remelted sows, granules and powder used as galvanizing and die‑casting feedstock, and recycled secondary unwrought zinc distinguished by Zn assay and impurity profile. Commercial applications: hot‑dip galvanizing, die‑casting alloys, zinc coating and anode manufacture, chemical intermediates and battery components, and metal reprocessing industries. HTS Code Classification & Trade Specifications Complete HTS Code Structure: Chapter 79 — "Zinc and articles thereof"; Heading 7901 — "Unwrought zinc"; Subheading 7901.11 (6‑digit HS) — unwrought zinc, not alloyed. For U.S. entry the 6‑digit HS is further subdivided to 8‑ and 10‑digit HTSUS statistical and duty lines; use the 10‑digit suffix on customs entries to determine rate of duty and quota applicability. Classification rationale: material composition (dominant Zn content), physical form (unwrought: ingots, sows, granules, powder) and absence of alloying elements place the product squarely in 7901.11. Trade considerations: common commercial packaging includes strapped wooden pallets, steel banding, poly‑wrapped ingots or lined bulk containers (IBC, bulk bags) with typical pallet weights 500–2,000 kg; ingots commonly 10–500 kg each. Preservation and shipping: dry, ventilated storage, corrosion‑inhibiting coatings or inert liners for long sea voyages; powders require controlled humidity and dust mitigation. Quality standards and testing: grades certified by assay (XRF/ICP‑OES), conformity to purchaser specifications and recognized standards (ASTM/EN/ISO), with impurity limits and Zn assay declared for customs and LME reporting.
