Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in sheet or plate form for battery components
Rolled or formed sheets classify under lead plates in 7804, not unwrought.
If imported as parts of lead-acid batteries
Battery parts/assemblies fall under Chapter 85, not base metals.
If containing >40% lead from smelter slag
Slag/ash with lead classifies as mineral residues in Chapter 26.
