Last updated: April 2026 dataZinc's primary commercial role as a protective coating for steel is well known, but fabricated zinc articles — die-cast hardware, architectural components, and anode plates — represent a distinct and widely traded product category in their own right. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have historically targeted zinc-based products from specific origins, so importers should conduct an AD/CVD scope review before sourcing. Die-cast zinc alloy parts, sometimes marketed under the trade name Zamak, are a common subset of this heading and may require alloy composition documentation to confirm classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Zamak and similar zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloys are zinc-based and generally fall within the zinc articles heading, provided zinc predominates by weight as defined in the applicable HTS chapter notes. Importers should supply alloy composition data to support this classification.
Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have been applied to various zinc-based products from certain countries. Importers should check the USITC and Commerce Department's active order lists and request a scope ruling if there is any ambiguity about whether their specific product falls within an existing order.
