What is HS code 7802 and what does it include?
Lead scrap is lead that was thrown away or left over from making other things. It is usually sold by weight so it can be melted down and used again.
You may also see it written as HS 780200 or HSN code 7802. These all point to the same goods. HSN is simply the name some countries use for the same Harmonized System.
The Harmonized System is a list of product numbers kept by the World Customs Organization. Customs offices in many countries use it, so a lead scrap shipment gets the same base number almost everywhere.
Countries often add extra digits after the first six for their own tariff and statistics. So 780200 is the shared part, and your national tariff may go further. Check the full number in your own country before you fill in a customs form.
Where 7802 sits in the HS hierarchy
The HS works like a family tree. Goods start in a broad section, then move into a chapter, then a four-digit heading, and finally a six-digit code.
For lead scrap the path looks like this:
- Section XV groups base metals and the articles made from them. Lead sits here beside other common metals.
- Chapter 78 is the lead chapter. It holds every heading about lead and lead goods.
- Heading 7802 narrows this down to lead waste and scrap.
- Code 780200 is the final level used worldwide for this heading.
Difference between HS 7801 and 7802, and the other lead headings
Picking the right heading depends on the state of the lead. Ask whether it is raw metal, scrap, a flat sheet, or a finished item.
Here is how the four lead headings split up:
- 7801 is unwrought lead. This is lead metal that has not yet been shaped into products.
- 7802 is lead waste and scrap. This is used lead and leftover lead that is sold for reuse.
- 7806 is for other lead articles that are not named anywhere else in the chapter.
