Ash and Residues Containing Other Metals, Not Elsewhere Specified imports of $29.6M in April 2026 ran 55% above the year-to-date monthly average of $19.2M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataResidues bearing vanadium, nickel, titanium, silver, arsenic, and other metals not captured by more specific subheadings are classified here, making 262099 one of the most compositionally diverse entries in Chapter 26. South Africa and Norway lead US supply — South Africa as a major source of vanadium-bearing slag from ferrovanadium production, and Norway reflecting its significant ferroalloy and titanium industries. The US schedule includes dedicated lines for vanadium-rich residues (2620991000), high-nickel residues over 10% Ni (2620993000), high-titanium slag (2620995000), silver-bearing residues (2620997560), and arsenic- or compound-bearing ash (2620998500), each requiring assay confirmation for correct classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Line 2620993000 applies specifically to ash and residues containing more than 10 percent nickel by weight. Residues with nickel content at or below that threshold that do not qualify for another named line would fall under the general NESOI line (2620998550). A certified assay report is the standard document used to establish nickel percentage and support the correct line selection at entry.
High-titanium slag — containing more than 40% titanium — is a primary feedstock for titanium dioxide pigment production and titanium metal sponge manufacturing, making it a strategically important material. The line applies only when copper, lead, and zinc content collectively do not exceed 2%, or when the material is not imported for metal recovery purposes; shipments outside these parameters may fall under a different line. Norway is a notable source given its integrated titanium processing industry.
