High-Purity Leady Litharge for Paint Drying
High-purity leady litharge used as a paint drier and catalyst in alkyd resin production is a chemically defined lead suboxide. It is not a prepared paint or a mixture, so it falls under heading 28.24 as 'Other' lead oxides.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the product is not put up for retail sale as a paint or varnish, which would shift classification to Chapter 32
• Provide a certificate of analysis to prove chemical identity
• Ensure the product is not mixed with organic solvents, as that may exclude it from Chapter 28
