Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If zinc content predominates
Zinc ores and concentrates take precedence under 2608 when Zn > Pb.
If roasted pyrite residues with lead
Heading 2620 includes residues from pyrites used in metal/chemical production.
If smelted to lead bullion
Refined unwrought lead from concentrates enters Chapter 78.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide split assays for lead vs zinc to justify lead ore classification over zinc ore
• Monitor payable metal thresholds set by smelters to align with import declarations
• Beware of reclassification if zinc exceeds lead, shifting to HTS 2608

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.
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.
