HS-4 · Heading

2607 — Lead ores and concentrates

Chapter 26: Ores, slag and ash

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 2607 when importing lead ores and concentrates, such as raw lead-bearing minerals from a mine. For example, if you're shipping a bulk container of galena (lead sulfide), this code applies.

When deciding between HS-6 260700 and other headings, consider the product's form and purity. If your shipment consists of lead ores with a high concentration of lead, it fits under this line. If it’s mixed with other metals or impurities, further classification may be needed.

If you're unsure whether your product qualifies as a concentrate, check the lead content. Concentrates typically have a higher lead percentage, which distinguishes them from raw ores. This can affect duty rates and import regulations.
