Overview
This classification, HTS Code 7802.00.00.60, encompasses "Other" lead waste and scrap that does not fall under the specific category of waste and scrap obtained from lead-acid storage batteries. This generally includes a broad range of discarded lead materials, such as scrap lead from manufacturing processes, discarded lead plumbing, lead sheathing from cables, and other forms of pure or alloyed lead that are considered waste or scrap and are intended for remelting or reprocessing. The defining characteristic is that these are unusable lead articles or materials that have reached the end of their initial life cycle.
The distinction between this category and its sibling, 7802.00.00.30, lies in the origin of the lead waste and scrap. While 7802.00.00.30 is exclusively for lead waste and scrap derived from lead-acid storage batteries (e.g., battery casings, plates, and grids), this category, 7802.00.00.60, is for all other lead scrap. Therefore, if the lead waste and scrap originates from any source other than a lead-acid battery, it would be classified here.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code is determined by the exclusion of lead waste and scrap from lead-acid storage batteries and the confirmation that the material is indeed lead waste or scrap intended for recycling. Practical classification will rely on the physical form of the material, its identifiable lead content, and documentary evidence confirming its status as waste or scrap.
