2620.99.75.60 - Other materials containing silver

This HTS category, 2620.99.75.60, specifically covers "Other materials containing silver." These materials are waste or residues from industrial processes, not further refined or processed beyond their initial recovery from manufacturing. The key defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is the presence of silver as a significant component, provided the material meets the overarching criteria of Section V, Chapter 26, concerning slag, ash, and residues.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike materials classified under 2620.99.75.80, which exclusively contain gold, or 2620.99.75.90, which contain neither vanadium, silver, nor gold, this subcategory is solely for residues where silver is present. Furthermore, it stands apart from the "Vanadium bearing materials" classification, focusing specifically on silver content. The materials classified here are residues that have not been advanced in value or condition, and if they exceed 2 percent by weight of copper, lead, or zinc, they must not be intended for the recovery of those specific metals.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 2620.99.75.60 relies on confirming the presence of silver as a constituent element in the residue, alongside the absence of specific recovery intentions for copper, lead, or zinc when their proportions exceed the 2 percent threshold, and the material's origin as industrial waste or ash.
