2607.00.00.30 - Zinc content

This HTS classification, 2607.00.00.30, specifically designates the zinc content found within lead ores and concentrates. It is crucial to understand that this classification applies when zinc is a significant component being declared or analyzed within the context of lead ore or concentrate processing and trade. The focus here is on the presence and quantification of zinc as a valuable constituent within these mineral products.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is essential for accurate classification. While 2607.00.00.10 covers copper content and 2607.00.00.20 addresses lead content within the same lead ore and concentrate framework, this particular sub-classification isolates and identifies the zinc component. Similarly, it differs from 2607.00.00.40 (silver content) and 2607.00.00.50 (gold content) by specifically referencing zinc. The choice of classification hinges on the primary mineral of interest and the specific metal content being declared for customs purposes.

As a leaf node, 2607.00.00.30 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, its classification is directly determined by the presence and declaration of zinc content within lead ores and concentrates. Practical application involves verifying documentation and, if necessary, assay reports that confirm the zinc composition of the imported or exported material, ensuring it aligns with the defined scope of this specific HTS code.
