This heading covers unwrought zinc in its different degrees of purity from spelter (see the General Explanatory Note above) to refined zinc, whether in blocks, plates, ingots, billets, slabs or similar forms or in pellets. The products of this heading are normally intended for use in galvanising (by the hot-dip or electrodeposition processes), for making alloys, for rolling, drawing or extrusion, or for casting into shaped articles.
The heading excludes zinc dust, powders and flakes (heading 79.03).
