Cerussite (PbCO3) is a lead carbonate mineral often found in oxidized zones of lead deposits, appearing as white, adamantine crystals. Classified under HTS 2607.00.00 as a lead ore when lead content exceeds threshold levels post-concentration. It requires roasting to convert to oxide before smelting.

Import Tips
• Provide mineralogical analysis reports distinguishing cerussite from similar carbonates to prevent confusion with non-lead ores
• Declare exact lead assay percentage; shipments below 40% may be rejected or reclassified
