Antimonial Lead Ingot 10% Sb from Mexico
Unwrought lead ingot alloyed with 10% antimony by weight, used primarily in battery manufacturing for improved hardness and corrosion resistance. This falls under HTS 7801.91.00.00 because antimony is the principal other element by weight, exceeding 99% lead content threshold for pure lead. It is supplied in large, cast form suitable for remelting.

Import Tips
• Verify exact antimony content via certified assay reports to confirm classification under 7801.91; slight variations may shift to other subheadings
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) and comply with EPA lead import regulations, including prior notice via ACE system
• Avoid misdeclaration as scrap (HTS 7802); unwrought forms must be free of significant impurities or processing residues
