Import Tips & Compliance

• Disclose retreatment history to avoid scrutiny as waste under Basel Convention

• Dual assays (original tailings vs final concentrate) aid classification proof

• Segregate from true waste residues to prevent 2620 or 2621 shifts

Related Products 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.
