HS Code 7905Zinc; plates, sheets, strip and foil

What HS code 7905 covers

This heading is for flat zinc goods. Strip is a long, narrow flat piece. Foil is a very thin sheet. If your product fits one of these four forms, 7905 is the heading to check first.

Below the heading there is one code, HS 790500. This is the number that goes on customs papers when flat zinc crosses a border. Some traders search for it as the HSN code 7905, but the goods are the same.

When you choose between zinc headings, the shape of the zinc is what matters most. Flat goes here. Long bars, loose powder and raw blocks go elsewhere, as the next sections show.

Where 7905 sits in the Harmonized System

The Harmonized System is a world list of product names and numbers. It works in layers, and each layer is more specific than the one above it. Here is the path for flat zinc:

• Section XV: the group for base metals and their articles.
• Code 790500: the six-digit level where the goods are named in full.

7905 vs other zinc headings: choosing the right code

Chapter 79 has other headings for zinc in different forms. A wrong pick can lead to delays or questions from customs, so it helps to know the neighbours.

The most common mix-up is between 7904 and 7905. Both cover worked zinc. The difference is shape.

Here is how the other zinc headings compare:

• 7901 is unwrought zinc. It has not been worked into a finished shape.
• 7902 is zinc waste and scrap. Used or leftover zinc goes here, not under 7905.
• These are loose small particles, not flat sheets.
• These are long shapes, not flat ones.
• 7907 is for zinc articles not named elsewhere in the chapter. A finished item made from zinc may land here.
