HS-4 · Heading
7806 — Lead; articles n.e.c. in chapter 78
Chapter 78: Lead and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7806 when importing or exporting lead articles not specifically classified elsewhere in chapter 78. For instance, if you're shipping lead seals or lead weights, this code applies. It's essential to ensure your product doesn't fall under a more specific HS-6 line.
The only subheading under this heading is 780600, which covers lead articles not elsewhere classified. If your product is a lead-based item but doesn't fit into categories like lead pipes or sheets, this is likely the correct classification. Always check the specific product descriptions to confirm.
When determining if HS-4 7806 is the right code, consider the nature of your product. If it is a lead article that has a specific use or form, ensure it doesn't fit into other headings that might be more appropriate. For example, lead batteries would not fall under this code.
