U.S. exports of Ash and Residues from Incineration of Municipal Waste (HS 262110) totaled $517K in August 2026, exported to 6 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataBottom ash, fly ash, and combined residues generated by municipal solid waste incineration facilities fall under a single 10-digit line (2621100000). Trade in this material is relatively limited and typically involves cross-border movement for specialized disposal, aggregate use, or resource recovery rather than conventional commodity trade. Classification requires confirming that the source material is municipal waste rather than industrial or hazardous waste streams, which would direct the residue to different headings. Importers should assess whether EPA solid-waste or hazardous-waste regulations apply to the specific ash composition before entry.

The key distinction is the origin of the incinerated material: 2621100000 covers residues from facilities processing mixed municipal solid waste. Ash from the incineration of industrial process waste, sewage sludge, or specific hazardous materials would not qualify and should be classified under the appropriate NESOI ash or residue heading. Documentation from the originating incineration facility identifying the waste stream is essential to support the classification.
Some processed municipal waste ash is used as a supplementary cementitious material or road-base aggregate, but US importers must first confirm that the material meets EPA and state environmental standards for the intended application. Fly ash with certain heavy-metal concentrations may be regulated as a solid waste, requiring compliance with RCRA provisions before it can be beneficially reused. Engaging an environmental attorney alongside a customs broker is advisable for commercial-scale imports.
