How to Use This Classification

  • Match the exact zinc form to a sublisting: ingots on pallets, die‑cast parts (e.g., Zamak 3/5), sheet/plate, or clean scrap in boxes or drums.
  • Note alloy grade, condition, and moisture level on paperwork; dry, oil‑free scrap and identified alloys speed carrier acceptance and help prevent reclass.
  • Pack for containment and stability: interlock and band ingots on 48x40 pallets with cornerboards, crate loose castings, and line bulk boxes to capture fines.
  • For quotes, provide precise dims, weight, stackability, and piece count; class is set by the specific sub-item even though the group shows N/A here.

Business Value

  • Correct sublisting selection minimizes reclass charges and dispute time, protecting margins on metal shipments.
  • Non‑hazardous designation reduces paperwork and lowers the risk of accessorials tied to hazardous handling.
  • Tight unitization of soft zinc reduces dents and scuffs, cutting damage claims and keeping downstream quality high.
  • Standard pallet footprints and consolidated crates improve cube efficiency and can yield better LTL rates.
