HS Code 7907.00 – Zinc; articles n.e.c. in chapter 79
HS code 7907.00 is the 6-digit subheading for zinc, articles n.e.c. in chapter 79. It is used for zinc anodes for cathodic protection, zinc weights, zinc die-cast components (not elsewhere specified), zinc fittings and zinc hardware.
What HS 7907.00 covers
This 'not elsewhere specified or included' (N.E.C.) category serves as a residual heading for all other articles made primarily of zinc that do not fit into the more specific headings within Chapter 79 of the Harmonized System. This can encompass a wide array of finished or semi-finished zinc products, ranging from small, intricate components to more complex assemblies, provided they are not explicitly covered by other HS codes. Examples might include specialized zinc anodes for cathodic protection, custom zinc castings, or fabricated zinc parts designed for various industrial or consumer applications. The profile of importers and exporters for this category is highly diverse, ranging from specialized industrial suppliers to general hardware distributors, depending on the specific article. Key considerations for trade include the specific function of the article, its manufacturing complexity, and compliance with end-use regulations in the destination market.

Codes often confused with 7907.00
Common mistake. This code is a residual category, so misclassification often occurs when an article *could* fit into a more specific heading (e.g., 790400 for wire, 790500 for sheets) but is incorrectly placed here, or if it's a composite article where zinc is not the predominant material (potentially falling into other chapters).

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
