7804 — Lead; plates, sheets, strip and foil, lead powders and flakes
Chapter 78: Lead and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7804 when importing or exporting lead products like sheets, strips, or foils. For example, if you’re shipping lead foil rolls with a thickness of 0.15mm, this code applies. Knowing the exact thickness is crucial for accurate classification.
When deciding between HS-6 780411 and HS-6 780419, the thickness of the lead sheets is key. If your product has a thickness not exceeding 0.2mm, use 780411. For sheets thicker than 0.2mm, choose 780419. Always measure without any backing material included.
If you're dealing with lead powders or flakes, use HS-6 780420. This line covers all forms of lead in powdered or flaked states, regardless of particle size. Ensure your product matches the description to avoid misclassification.
