Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when imported as paint pigment preparation
Mixtures of lead carbonates with binders or extenders for paints classified as pigments in Chapter 32, not pure compounds.
If containing lead acetate impurities
Lead compounds with acetate functionality fall under lead acetates heading rather than carbonates.
If imported as chemical preparation for lab use
Preparations not chemically defined or mixed with other substances classified in Chapter 38.
