Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing significant zinc impurities
Zinc oxide mixtures shift to Chapter 28 zinc compounds rather than pure lead oxides.
If used as inorganic pigment in paints
Luminophore or pigment preparations are excluded from Chapter 28 per notes.
If in double salt form with other metals
Complex salts of lead fall under heading 2842 per Chapter notes.
