HS Code 2824Lead oxides; red lead and orange lead
2 six-digit codes · Heading 24 of 50 in Chapter 28 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 2824 is the customs heading for lead oxides, from lead monoxide (litharge, massicot) to red lead and orange lead. Use this page to pick the right code and find who trades it.
Heading 2824 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Lead oxides; red lead and orange lead” classify either at 282410 or at 282490, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 24 of 50 in Chapter 28, Inorganic chemicals; organic and inorganic compounds of precious metals; of rare earth metals, of radio-active elements and of isotopes, which runs to 180 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 2824 covers
This heading groups the oxides of lead. It names lead monoxide, which traders also call litharge or massicot. It also names red lead and orange lead. All of them are inorganic chemicals, so they sit in Chapter 28.
You may see the same heading called HSN code 2824 in India or HTS code 2824 in the United States. The first four digits match in each system. Many countries add more digits for their own tariff classification, so a number on a local invoice can be longer. Check your national tariff for those extra digits. This page only covers the world-level codes.
HS 282410 vs 282490: which code to use
Start with one question: is your product lead monoxide? If yes, use 282410. Litharge and massicot are names for lead monoxide, so they go in the same code.
If your product is any other lead oxide, use 282490. The words "n.e.c." mean not elsewhere classified, so this code is the catch-all for the heading. Red lead and orange lead are named in the heading but are not lead monoxide. They therefore fall under 282490.
If you are not sure, describe your product in the HS code classifier. Keep your product data sheet close, because customs officers make the final call.
- 282410: lead monoxide (litharge, massicot)
- 282490: lead oxides not elsewhere classified in heading 2824
