Lead Stabilizer Red Lead Granules
Granulated red lead used as heat stabilizer in PVC compounds for electrical insulation and pipes. HTS 2824.90.20.00 applies as it's chemically defined red lead oxide, not an organo-lead compound excluded by notes. Provides thermal stability during extrusion.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tribasic lead sulfate or organo-lead stabilizers
Organic or complex lead compounds excluded from Chapter 28 per notes.
If pre-compounded into PVC resin pellets
Plastic materials containing stabilizers classified by polymer type in Chapter 39.
If for rubber accelerator preparations including red lead
Composite rubber chemicals go to prepared rubber accelerators heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm no organic modification; pure inorganic oxides only stay in 2824
• REACH compliance for EU exports; declare stabilizer end-use
• Granule size affects flow; mismatched specs trigger re-inspection

Red Lead Pigment Powder
Red lead (Pb3O4) is a bright red or orange powder primarily used as a pigment in industrial paints and anti-corrosion primers. It falls under HTS 2824.90.20.00 as it is specifically classified as red lead oxide, a chemically defined lead compound in Chapter 28. This product is valued for its durability and protective qualities in metal coatings.
Industrial Orange Lead Oxide
Orange lead oxide, a variant of Pb3O4 with distinct orange hue, serves as a key ingredient in high-performance rust-inhibiting coatings for steel structures. Classified under HTS 2824.90.20.00 as 'orange lead,' it qualifies as a chemically defined inorganic lead compound per Chapter 28 definitions. Commonly used in marine and bridge paints.
Battery Grade Red Lead Powder
High-purity red lead powder formulated for lead-acid battery plate formation, where it converts to active material during manufacturing. HTS 2824.90.20.00 covers this as red lead oxide, explicitly included in Chapter 28 for chemically defined compounds. Purity levels typically exceed 99% Pb3O4.
Minium Red Lead for Ceramic Glazes
Minium, the mineral form of red lead oxide (Pb3O4), ground into fine powder for flux in ceramic glazes and enamels to lower melting points. Falls squarely under HTS 2824.90.20.00 as red lead, a lead oxide per subheading hierarchy. Provides brilliant red coloration and vitrification aid.
