99.99% Pure Refined Lead Ingots
High-purity refined lead cast into standard ingots for industrial remelting and alloying. Classified under HTS 7801.10.00.00 as unwrought refined lead, which is lead electrolytically purified to over 99.9% purity, not yet shaped into articles.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If lead content <99% by weight
Unwrought lead alloys (lead not the predominant metal) fall under 7801.91 per chapter notes defining alloys.
If containing >99% but derived from smelter ash or residues
Lead dross, ash, or residues even if refined are classified under Chapter 26 as slag/remelting residues.
If processed into lead plates, sheets, or strip
Once wrought into sheets or profiles, it moves from unwrought (7801) to worked lead (7804).

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate showing >99% lead content to confirm refined status and avoid alloy misclassification
• Include mill test reports for chemical composition; common pitfall is missing documentation leading to reclassification
• Check for environmental compliance like TSCA certification for lead imports into the US
