Litharge Lead Monoxide Powder
Litharge is a bright yellow form of lead(II) oxide (PbO) used primarily in the production of lead-acid batteries, glass, and ceramics. It falls under HTS 2824.90.50.00 as 'other' lead oxides, distinct from red lead or orange lead, meeting the chemical definition for inorganic compounds of lead in Chapter 28.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sold as a mixture with other lead compounds
Lead oxides mixed with other substances may classify under lead compounds of other types rather than pure oxides.
If prepared for specific industrial use like battery paste additive
Chemical preparations containing lead oxide for retail or specific end-use fall outside pure Chapter 28 compounds.
If in pig or scrap form for recycling
Unwrought lead containing oxides classifies as pig iron/lead rather than pure chemical compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain EPA pre-notification for lead compounds and ensure TSCA compliance with proper labeling
• Provide detailed purity certificates (typically >99% PbO) to avoid misclassification as mixtures
• Verify packaging meets UN hazardous material standards due to toxicity risks
