Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If after extrusion into cable sheathing profiles
Extruded sheathing is wrought lead profiles.
If alloyed with tin for flexibility
Lead-tin cable alloys classified as unwrought alloys.
If imported with optical fiber as coated cable
Insulated cables including lead sheath under Chapter 85.
