Code base of TN VED → SECTION XV. Base metals and products from them → Zinc and products from it → Explanations

GROUP 79. ZINC AND PRODUCTS FROM IT

Note:

1. The terms used in this group mean:

a) Bars - rolled, pressed, drawn or wrought products, not coiled and having a continuous cross-section of a constant length throughout its length, in the form of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons (including "flattened circles" and "modified rectangles", two opposite sides which are convex arcs, and the other two are rectilinear, equal in length and parallel). Products with a rectangular (including square), triangular or polygonal cross-section may have corners rounded along the entire length of the product. The thickness of such products having a rectangular (including "modified rectangular") cross section exceeds 0.1 of their width. The term also applies to cast or sintered articles of the same shapes and dimensions, which have been subjected to post-production work (other than simple trimming or descaling), provided that they have not acquired the distinctive characteristics of articles of other headings.

b) Profiles - rolled, extruded, drawn, forged or shaped products, whether or not coiled, and having a constant cross-section along their entire length and not meeting the definitions of bars, wires, plates, sheets, strips or strips, foils, pipes or tubes. The term also applies to cast or sintered articles of the same shape which have been subjected to post-production work (other than simply trimming or descaling), provided that they have not thereby acquired the characteristics of articles of other headings.

c) Wire - rolled, extruded or drawn products in coils and having a constant continuous cross-section throughout the length in the form of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons (including "flattened circles" and "modified rectangles", two opposite sides of which are convex arcs, and the other two are rectilinear, equal in length and parallel). Products with a rectangular (including square), triangular or polygonal cross-section may have corners rounded along the entire length of the product. The thickness of such products having a rectangular (including "modified rectangular") cross section exceeds 0.1 of their width.

d) Plates, sheets, strips or strips and foils - flat products (other than unworked products of heading 7901), whether or not coiled, and having a solid rectangular (other than square) cross-section with rounded or non-rounded corners (including "modified rectangles", two opposite sides of which are convex arcs, and the other two are rectilinear, equal in length and parallel), with a constant thickness, having:

- a rectangular (including square) shape with a thickness not exceeding 0.1 of the width;

- of a shape other than rectangular or square, of any size, provided that they have not thereby acquired the distinctive features characteristic of articles of other headings.

Heading 7905 includes, inter alia, boards, sheets, strips or strips and foils, having a relief surface (for example, grooves, protrusions, cages, rhombuses), as well as products, perforated, corrugated, polished or coated, when provided that they have not acquired the distinctive features characteristic of articles of other headings.

e) Pipes and tubes - hollow products, whether or not coiled and having a constant cross section with only one closed cavity along the entire length of the product in the form of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons and having a constant wall thickness. Products with a cross section in the form of a rectangle (including a square), an equilateral triangle or a regular convex polygon, which may have corners rounded along the entire length of the product, should also be classified as pipes and tubes if their inner and outer cross sections are concentric and have one the same shape and orientation. Pipes and tubes having the above cross-sections may be polished, coated, bent, threaded, drilled, tapered, expanded, tapered, or end-faced with flanges, collars or rings.

Subheading Note:

1. The terms used in this Chapter mean:

(a) Zinc, unalloyed, a metal containing not less than 97.5% by weight of zinc.

b) Zinc alloys - metal alloys in which the mass content of zinc exceeds the mass content of any other element contained in the alloy, but the total content of all other elements is more than 2.5 wt.%.

c) Zinc dust - dust obtained by condensation of zinc vapor and consisting of spherical particles smaller than the particles of zinc powders. Not less than 80 wt.% of zinc dust particles pass through a sieve with cells of 63 microns (microns). Zinc dust must contain at least 85% by weight of metallic zinc.

General

This Chapter includes zinc, zinc alloys and articles thereof.

Zinc is predominantly isolated from sulfide ore (zinc blende or sphalerite), although carbonate and silicate ores (smithsonite, hemimorphite, etc.) are also used (see Explanatory Note to heading 2608).

In all cases, the ore is first beneficiated and then roasted or calcined to obtain zinc oxide (in the case of sulfide and carbonate ores) or anhydrous zinc silicate (in the case of silicate ores). Zinc is isolated from these substances by thermal reduction or (with the exception of silicate ores) by electrolysis.

I. Thermal reduction is carried out by heating zinc oxide or silicate in the presence of coke in a closed retort. The heating temperature causes the zinc to evaporate, which is deposited in the capacitors, where most of the metal is collected as "zinc solder". This contaminated zinc can be used directly for galvanization or can be purified by various methods.

Some contaminated zinc may be deposited in retort extensions as a very fine powder known as zinc dust or blue powder.

A modern modification of the process is based on continuous zinc oxide reduction and zinc precipitation in vertical retorts. This process produces a very pure metal suitable for injection molding alloys.

II. Electrolysis. Zinc oxide dissolves in sulfuric acid solution. The resulting zinc sulfate solution is thoroughly purified to remove cadmium, iron, copper, etc. , and then subjected to electrolysis to obtain ultra-pure zinc.

Zinc is also obtained by remelting zinc waste and scrap.

***

Zinc is a bluish-white metal that can be rolled, drawn, stamped, extruded, etc. at the right temperature, and is also easy to cast. It has good atmospheric corrosion resistance and is therefore used in construction (e.g. for roofing) and for making protective coatings on other metals, especially iron and steel (e.g. by galvanization, electroplating, zinc diffusion, painting, spraying).

***

Zinc is also used to produce alloys; many of them (for example, bronze) contain predominantly other metals, but the following are the main zinc alloys, which, in accordance with Note 5 to Section XV, are classified in this Chapter:

(1) Zinc-aluminum alloys, usually with additions of copper or magnesium used for injection molding, especially for car parts (carburetor body, radiator grille, dashboard, etc.), for bicycle parts (pedals, dynamo body, etc. ), for radio parts, refrigerator parts, etc. Alloys of similar metals are used to produce sheets that are stronger than ordinary zinc; for pressing tools and as cathodic protection of anodes (sacrificial anodes), to protect pipelines, capacitors, etc., against corrosion.

(2) Zinc-copper alloys for casting, stamping, etc. See Subheading Notes 1(a) and 1(b) concerning the ratio between zinc and zinc alloys.

***

This group includes:

(A) Ingots and blister zinc, waste and scrap (headings 7901 and 7902).

(B) Zinc dust, powders and flakes (heading 7903).

(B) Articles made principally by rolling, drawing or extrusion of unwrought zinc of heading 7901 (headings 7904 and 7905).

(D) Pipes and tubes and their fittings (heading 7906), articles of heading 7907, which covers all other zinc articles, other than those of Note 1 to Section XV, which are included in group 82 or 83, or which are specifically mentioned elsewhere in the nomenclature.

***

Zinc products can be subjected to various types of treatment to improve the properties or appearance of the metal, etc. These types of treatment are mainly noted at the end of the general provisions of the Explanatory Note to Chapter 72 and do not affect the classification of products.

***

The classification of composite products is presented in the general provisions of the Explanatory Note to Section XV.
