Hard zinc spelter Hard zinc spelter is a residue from galvanising baths and is often referred to as galvanisation matte. There are two principal kinds: 1.  Mattes from heavy galvanisation which are metal products of a very variable and non-homogeneous composition, less easily melted and denser than zinc, and which settle at the bottom of the baths of liquid zinc during galvanisation of steel...

Other This subheading includes: 1.  mattes from refining, which are drawn from the bottom of the baths refining crude zinc. These contain by weight from 4 to 8 % of lead and up to 6 % of iron; 2.  zinc slag and ash, consisting of zinc (from 65 to 70 % by weight) and zinc oxide with carbon and other impurities; 3.  zinc foams which consist of metallic zinc, zinc chloride and ammonium chloride,...

2. 2. For the purposes of headings 26.01 to 26.17, the term "ores" means minerals of mineralogical species actually used in the metallurgical industry for the extraction of mercury, of the metals of heading 28.44 or of the metals of Section XIV or XV, even if they are intended for non-metallurgical purposes. Headings 26.01 to 26.17 do not, however, include minerals which have been submitted to processes not normal to the metallurgical industry.
3. 3. Heading 26.20 applies only to: • (a) Slag, ash and residues of a kind used in industry either for the extraction of metals or as a basis for the manufacture of chemical compounds of metals, excluding ash and residues from the incineration of municipal waste (heading 26.21); and • (b) Slag, ash and residues containing arsenic, whether or not containing metals, of a kind used either for the extraction of arsenic or metals or for the manufacture of their chemical compounds.
