Primary Lead Bullion Bars from Mexico
Primary lead bullion consists of high-purity lead cast into standardized bars or ingots directly from smelting processes, containing over 99% lead with minimal impurities. It falls under HTS 7801.99.30.00 as unwrought lead bullion, distinct from refined lead or alloys where lead is less than 99% or not the predominant metal. This form is primarily used in secondary refining for industrial applications.

Import Tips
• Verify lead purity exceeds 99% by weight via certified assay reports to confirm classification as lead bullion, not alloys
• Include smelter certificates and origin documentation to comply with environmental regulations like TSCA for lead imports
• Avoid misclassification as scrap by ensuring bullion is in coherent bar form, not fragmented or contaminated material
