2607.00.00.20 - Lead content

This HTS subcategory, 2607.00.00.20, specifically designates lead content within the broader classification of lead ores and concentrates. It encompasses materials that are primarily composed of lead, or where lead is a significant and targeted component for extraction, even if other metals are also present. The classification focuses on the presence and intended recovery of lead as the primary valuable element.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate customs declaration. While 2607.00.00.10 covers copper content, 2607.00.00.30 relates to zinc content, 2607.00.00.40 to silver content, and 2607.00.00.50 to gold content, this specific code isolates materials where lead is the principal focus. Therefore, an ore concentrate classified here must have lead as its dominant valuable metal, even if trace amounts of other metals are present.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive for goods whose primary economic value is derived from their lead content. This typically includes refined lead ores, intermediate lead concentrates, and other materials specifically prepared for the extraction and processing of lead.
