N284831 · 2017-04-27 — The tariff classification of lead ingots from India
The products under consideration are described as remelted refined lead ingots which are made from raw lead, battery scraps and lead scraps sourced from the United States and various other countries. In your letter, you indicate that the ingots contain 97 – 99% lead; however, the submitted inspection reports show the lead content to be a minimum of 99.97%. The term “refined lead” is defined in Chapter 78, Subheading Note 1 as metal containing by weight at least 99.9% of lead, provided that the content by weight of any other element does not exceed a specified limit. The applicable subheading…

952242 · 1992-10-31 — Lead Micro Shot; Micro Granules; Powders; Flakes; Unwrought; HQ 088517, Affirmed; 7801.99.90
, for the reconsideration of HQ 088517 (April 17, 1992). In HQ 088517, we held that certain lead products were classified as lead powders in Heading 7804 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). FACTS: The merchandise is described as 99.97% lead "micro shot". It is produced from molten lead in spherical forms which range in diameter from 0.1 to 0.5 mm. The lead products will be injected pneumatically into molten steel to form a uniform alloy. ISSUE: Is the merchandise classified as unwrought lead, in Heading 7801, HTSUS, or as lead powders, in Heading 7804, HTSUS? LAW…
088517 · 1992-04-17 — Lead micro shot; lead powders; Heading 7801; Explanatory Note 78.04; Explanatory Note 74.06; Explanatory Note 74.03; Note 6(b) to Section XV; Additional U.S. Note 2 to Section XV
, requesting the tariff classification of lead "micro shot" under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). FACTS: The product in question is described as 99.97% lead "micro shot". It is produced in a spherical form from molten lead. The resulting spheres, which range in size from 0.1 to 0.5 mm in diameter, are very carefully sieved to guarantee strict uniformity of size. You state that producers of leaded steel alloys use lead in the form of "micro shot" because of the physical properties specific to that form. The "micro shot" must be injected pneumatically into the…
950031 · 1991-11-13 — Lead Microgranules; lead powders; Heading 7801; Heading 7804; Note 6(b) to Section XV
FACTS: The product in question is lead microgranules imported from Italy. The lead is transformed from a solid into a molten state which is then poured into a vat with holes in its underside. The molten lead flows into the holes and escapes from the vat drop by drop. The drops fall into a water bath which solidifies them. The granules are then screened for size. The resulting microgranules all pass through a 1 mm sieve. ISSUE: Are the lead microgranules classifiable as lead powder and flakes in subheading 7804.20.00, HTSUSA, or as unwrought lead in subheading 7801.99.90, HTSUSA. LAW AND…
