About heading 2620

Slag, ash and residues (other than from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing arsenic, metals or their compounds

Heading 2620 covers slag, ash and residues that contain arsenic, metals or their compounds, other than slag and waste from the manufacture of iron or steel. The heading splits first by the metal that predominates by weight, with subheadings for zinc, lead, copper, aluminum, arsenic-mercury-thallium mixtures, and a residual group for antimony, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, vanadium, tungsten and other materials. The six-digit subheadings are then split further into statistical lines that report the copper, lead, zinc, silver or gold content.
