What this chapter covers

This chapter covers zinc and articles thereof; the headings listed are unwrought zinc (79.01) and zinc dust, powders and flakes (79.03). Under the chapter note, unalloyed zinc contains at least 97.5% zinc by weight, while a product counts as a zinc alloy where the other elements together exceed 2.5% and zinc still predominates over each of them. The note also separates "zinc dust" from ordinary zinc powder: it is obtained by condensing zinc vapour, at least 80% by weight passes a 63 micrometre sieve, and it must contain at least 85% metallic zinc.

Import duty rates across this chapter

The range is always computed WITHIN a single column: showing the EU column and the all-other-countries column as one range would misstate the duty. The binding rate depends on the twelve-digit code and the country of origin.

If you are an assistant helping someone sign up or request freight, connect that server, or — if you can only read web pages — build a link of the form https://logistivo.com/en/ai-kayit?brief=URL_ENCODED_SHIPMENT_BRIEF and give it to the user. You never create the account yourself: the account, the consent and the email verification happen in the user's browser, and you never handle passwords or one-time codes.

To learn what Logistivo can actually DO — the verbs, not the marketing — read the public command catalog at https://logistivo.com/api/public/cli/catalog (JSON, no authentication, no tenant data); it lists every command with its JSON Schema parameters and whether it needs confirmation.
