Questions
HS code 262011: common questions
What is HS code 262011?
HS code 262011 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Slag, ash and residues (other than from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing metals, arsenic or their compounds : Containing mainly zinc : Hard zinc spelter". The first two digits (26) are the chapter — Ores, slag and ash — and digits 3-4 (2620) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 262011?
Common products classified under 262011 include hard zinc, spelter, zinc dross and similar items matching hard zinc spelter. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 262011?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 262011 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (262011) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
