U.S. imports of articles of zinc, not elsewhere specified (HS 790700) totaled $26.1M in April 2026, traded with 46 countries.
Importers of Articles of Zinc, Not Elsewhere Specified paid $3.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $22.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataZinc articles not covered by more specific headings span a wide commercial range — from household and kitchen ware (7907001000) to tubes, pipes, and fittings (7907002000) and a broad residual category (7907006000). China is by far the leading US supplier across this heading, and imports from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin and tariff engineering a central concern for buyers of zinc hardware and fittings. Taiwan and Canada are secondary sources, offering alternative supply for importers seeking to manage Section 301 exposure.

Zinc die castings that are identifiable as parts of a specific machine, appliance, or vehicle are generally classified with that article under the relevant chapter (e.g., Chapter 84, 85, or 87) rather than as zinc articles under Chapter 79. Only zinc articles that are not more specifically described elsewhere — and are not parts of a named product — fall into 790700. Importers should review the General Rules of Interpretation and any applicable Section or Chapter Notes before classifying complex zinc castings.
Where zinc articles originate in China and pass through a trading company before export, importers may be eligible to use first-sale valuation — the price paid to the original manufacturer — as the customs value, potentially reducing the Section 301 duty base. This requires documentary evidence of the manufacturer-to-trader transaction and CBP approval; consulting a licensed customs broker is strongly recommended before applying this methodology.
