HS-4 · Heading
2824 — Lead oxides; red lead and orange lead
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2824 when importing or exporting lead oxides, such as lead monoxide, commonly used in glass and ceramics. For example, shipments of litharge or massicot should be classified under this heading.
When deciding between HS-6 282410 and HS-6 282490, consider the specific lead oxide you are dealing with. If your product is lead monoxide, use 282410. If it falls under other lead oxides not specifically mentioned, choose 282490.
If your shipment includes lead oxides that do not fit the definitions of lead monoxide, you will likely need to use HS-6 282490. This line covers lead oxides that are not classified elsewhere in heading 2824.
