Lead Anode Rods
Rectangular lead rods serving as anodes in electroplating baths and corrosion protection systems, often with hooked ends for suspension. HTS 7806.00.03.00 covers these as lead rods due to their bar-like form and industrial application. Non-alloy lead composition aligns with chapter purity standards.
