Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloyed with antimony or calcium for battery use
Lead-antimony alloys for batteries are unwrought alloys under 7801.91, not pure refined lead.
If in powder form after atomization
Atomized lead powder is classified as articles of lead, not unwrought.
If imported as part of complete battery plates
Finished battery components including lead plates fall under electrical machinery Chapter 85.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide end-use statement if importing for battery production to facilitate customs clearance
• Avoid common error of shipping in containers mimicking wrought forms, which could trigger 7804 reclassification
• Label with exact purity (e.g
• 99.97%) and HS code on packaging for quick inspection
