Primary Lead Bullion Bars
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.
Secondary Lead Bullion Ingots
Secondary lead bullion ingots are produced from recycled lead materials, cast into large blocks with purity typically above 99%, used as feedstock for further refining. Classified under HTS 7801.99.30.00 as unwrought lead bullion, it excludes alloys and refined products. This semi-processed form supports battery manufacturing and other lead-dependent industries.
Electrolytic Lead Bullion Anodes
Lead bullion cast into anode shapes for electrolytic refining processes, maintaining over 99% lead content in unwrought form. It is specifically classified under HTS 7801.99.30.00 as lead bullion, prior to final refining. Used in electro-winning plants to produce high-purity lead sheets or powders.
Pyrometallurgical Lead Bullion Blocks
Large blocks of lead bullion from pyrometallurgical smelting of galena ore, with purity exceeding 99%, supplied in unwrought form. Falls under HTS 7801.99.30.00 as other lead bullion, not refined or alloyed. Primarily traded for downstream processing in cable sheathing and radiation shielding.
