Unwrought zinc

Heading 7901 covers unwrought zinc, meaning primary zinc in forms such as ingots, blocks and slabs, not scrap or wrought products. It splits first by whether the zinc is alloyed or not alloyed. Not alloyed zinc splits at 99.99% zinc, and below that between casting-grade zinc and other zinc.
