Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 780411 when importing or exporting thin lead sheets, strips, or foil with a thickness not exceeding 0.2mm. For instance, if you're shipping lead foil for use in radiation shielding, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers lead sheets and foils, distinguishing them from thicker lead products classified under different HS codes. For example, HS-6 780412 includes thicker lead sheets over 0.2mm, which would not apply to your shipment.
When dealing with lead products, it's crucial to note that HS-6 780411 is intended for very thin materials. If your product is a lead strip used in electronics, ensure it meets the thickness requirement to avoid misclassification.
In this heading, you'll find other related products like lead powders and flakes, but HS-6 780411 is unique to thin sheets and foils. Understanding these distinctions can help streamline your customs process.
