Lead Round Bars from China
Cylindrical lead bars used in counterweight manufacturing and radiation shielding, produced by continuous casting with diameters from 1/2 to 4 inches. Falls under HTS 7806.00.03.00 as lead bars, a primary form of lead not further worked beyond basic shaping. High purity lead ensures compliance with chapter definitions excluding alloys.

Import Tips
• Provide chemical analysis reports confirming lead content to distinguish from lead alloys per chapter statistical notes
• Label shipments with UN number for lead compounds if applicable, ensuring DOT hazardous material compliance
• Avoid bundling with steel reinforcements to prevent reclassification as composite articles
