Last updated: April 2026 dataCopper-bearing ash and residues — generated by copper smelting, wire and cable recycling, and electroplating operations — serve as secondary feedstock for copper refineries and scrap processors. Canada leads US imports under this heading, with Germany, Israel, Mexico, and Spain also contributing, reflecting both proximity-driven trade and specialized European recycling streams. The US schedule separates a statistical line (2620300010) tracking copper content by weight, which supports valuation and trade monitoring. Importers should note that copper-bearing residues from certain origins may be subject to Section 301 or other trade-remedy measures depending on the country of origin.

Line 2620300010 requires reporting the actual copper content by weight within the shipment, separate from the gross weight of the residue. This data is used by US Customs and Border Protection for trade statistics and valuation checks, and it also helps downstream processors verify the commercial value of the material. Importers should obtain a certified assay confirming copper percentage to populate this field accurately.
Copper-bearing ash and residues under heading 2620 are unrefined byproducts — such as slag, dross, or furnace dust — that contain copper but have not been processed into a defined scrap form. Copper scrap (e.g., wire, clippings, or turnings) is classified under heading 7404. The key distinction is whether the material retains a recognizable metallic form (scrap) or is an amorphous industrial waste or byproduct (residue).
