Products classified under HTS 2607.00.00.20
Galena Lead Ore Concentrate
Galena, primarily lead sulfide (PbS), is the most common lead ore mined and concentrated to increase lead content for smelting. Classified under HTS 2607.00.00.20 as it reports the specific lead content in lead ores and concentrates per statistical notes. This ensures accurate duty assessment based on metal assay without deductions.
Cerussite Lead Carbonate Ore
Cerussite (PbCO3) is a secondary lead mineral often concentrated for its high lead content in oxidized ore deposits. Falls under HTS 2607.00.00.20 for lead ores where lead content is the key statistical measure. Used primarily as feedstock for lead smelters.
Anglesite Lead Sulfate Concentrate
Anglesite (PbSO4), a lead sulfate mineral from oxidized galena zones, is beneficiated into concentrates reporting lead content under HTS 2607.00.00.20. Essential for sulfuric acid co-production in lead refining. Assay-based classification per statistical notes.
Hydrocerussite Lead Ore Fines
Hydrocerussite, a basic lead carbonate (2PbCO3·Pb(OH)2), processed into fines with quantified lead content for HTS 2607.00.00.20. Common in secondary deposits and flotation concentrates. Statistical reporting focuses on assay lead quantity.
Flotation Lead-Zinc Concentrate (Lead Dominant)
Flotation concentrate from polymetallic ores where lead content predominates, reported statistically under HTS 2607.00.00.20. Separated via froth flotation to enrich PbS minerals. Used in primary lead smelters.
Mississippi Valley Type Lead Ore Concentrate
Concentrates from Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) deposits, rich in high-grade galena with minimal impurities, quantified by lead content for HTS 2607.00.00.20. Key U.S. and global source for battery-grade lead.
Secondary Lead Ore Tailings Retreatment Concentrate
Reprocessed tailings from historic lead mines yielding new concentrates with measured lead content under HTS 2607.00.00.20. Recovers residual galena from waste streams. Statistical notes apply to assay lead.
Broken Lead Ore with Concentrate Blend
Blend of broken galena ore and flotation concentrate, statistically reported by total lead content under HTS 2607.00.00.20. Common bulk shipment form from mines. Prepares for milling and smelting.
High-Grade Lead Concentrate Pellets
Pelletized lead concentrates from fine grinding and binding, with lead content assayed for HTS 2607.00.00.20. Improves handling and reduces dust in transport. Still classified as ore product.
Australian Cannington Lead Concentrate
Lead concentrate from Cannington mine (Australia), polymetallic with dominant Pb-Ag content reported under HTS 2607.00.00.20. Exported as filter cake post-flotation. Major global supplier.
