HS Code 7806Lead; articles n.e.c. in chapter 78
1 six-digit code · Heading 4 of 4 in Chapter 78 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 7806 is the catch-all heading for other articles of lead. If a lead item is not raw metal, not scrap, and not a flat or powdered form, it may belong here.
Heading 7806does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Lead; articles n.e.c. in chapter 78” classify at the single six-digit code 780600. The heading is number 4 of 4 in Chapter 78, Lead and articles thereof, which runs to 8 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 7806 covers
The full customs wording is "Lead; articles n.e.c. in chapter 78". In plain words, it means other articles of lead. Some traders look for it as HSN code 7806, and the meaning is the same.
The tag n.e.c. marks a leftover group. A lead item lands here only when no sibling heading describes it better. So the heading does not list products one by one. It is defined by what the other headings leave out.
The Harmonized System is the shared customs language that sorts traded goods into numbered groups. Every group has a short description, and the description decides where a product goes. Good customs classification starts with reading that description closely.
Because 7806 is a residual heading, it is the last place to look. Check the named headings first. If none of them fit your lead article, come back here.
HS 7806 code structure: 78 > 7806 > 780600
HS codes read like a tree, from broad to narrow. The first two digits give the chapter. The first four digits give the heading. All six digits give the exact line.
Countries often add more digits after 780600 for local tariffs and reporting. Those extra digits differ from one country to the next. So two countries may write different long codes for the same lead article, while the first six digits stay shared.

Difference between HS 7804 and 7806, and the other lead headings
The easiest way to pick the right code is to rule out the neighbours first. Work through them in order.
Raw lead metal goes to 7801, which is lead; unwrought. Used or broken lead goes to 7802, which is lead; waste and scrap. Rolled sheets, strip and foil, plus lead powders and flakes, go to 7804.
That is the main difference between HS 7804 and 7806. Heading 7804 names set forms. Heading 7806 takes the lead articles that are left after those forms are removed.
Read each heading page before you decide. A wrong code can slow clearance at the border, so it pays to check the full text first.
