Other articles of zinc
3 declarable lines
Heading 7907 covers articles of zinc that are not provided for in the earlier headings of chapter 79, which deal with unwrought zinc, scrap, dust and powder, bars and rods, and plates and sheets. It has three declarable lines: household, table, kitchen, toilet and sanitary wares in 7907.00.10.00; zinc tubes, pipes and tube or pipe fittings in 7907.00.20.00; and a residual other line in 7907.00.60.00. All three lines carry the same general (MFN) rate of 3%.
