HS-6 · Subheading
282410
Lead; lead monoxide (litharge, massicot)
Heading 2824 — Lead oxides; red lead and orange lead
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 282410 when importing or exporting lead monoxide, commonly known as litharge or massicot. This substance is often found in industries that require lead compounds, such as ceramics or glass manufacturing. For example, a shipment of lead monoxide used in producing glass glazes would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers lead monoxide, distinguishing it from other lead compounds like lead dioxide, which is classified under a different HS-6 code. When dealing with lead oxides, it's crucial to know the specific type, as each has unique applications and regulatory requirements.
Lead monoxide is typically a yellow to red powder and is used in various applications, including as a pigment in paints and as a flux in ceramics. If you're handling lead monoxide in bulk, be aware of the safety regulations surrounding its transport and use.
When comparing HS-6 282410 with HS-6 282420, which covers red lead, note that red lead is often used in rust-proof paints and batteries, while lead monoxide has more varied applications in ceramics and glass. Understanding these distinctions can help ensure proper classification and compliance.
