Overview
This HTS category, 7802.00.00.30, specifically covers lead waste and scrap that has been obtained from lead-acid storage batteries. This designation captures used batteries that have been dismantled and processed to recover the lead content. The material is typically in a state ready for reprocessing or smelting into new lead products, differentiating it from lead in its refined or unworked forms.
It is crucial to distinguish this specific classification from its sibling category, 7802.00.00.60, which covers "Other" lead waste and scrap. While both fall under the broader heading of lead waste and scrap, 7802.00.00.30 is strictly limited to materials derived from lead-acid storage batteries. The "Other" category would encompass all other forms of lead waste and scrap not originating from batteries, such as lead pipes, cable sheathing, or lead sheets from various industrial or construction sources.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7802.00.00.30 relies on the explicit origin of the lead waste and scrap being lead-acid storage batteries. Importers and exporters must ensure that the source material is verifiable to correctly assign goods to this specific tariff line, avoiding misclassification with general lead waste and scrap.
