HTS heading 7806 is a broad product category for “other articles of lead.” It generally covers finished lead goods that are not more specifically described in another heading, such as lead products made into a particular article or component. The heading is a starting point, not the final tariff classification.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, review the product’s actual construction, function, and form, then follow the more detailed subheadings under heading 7806. The available subdivisions may distinguish products by their type or intended use, so do not assume that all lead articles share one code. Classification can also depend on whether the item is a finished article, a part, or a product covered elsewhere in the tariff schedule.
What to check
- Describe the item precisely, including its shape, dimensions, function, and whether it is finished or a component.
- Confirm that another HTS heading does not describe the product more specifically before using heading 7806.
- Review the full 8-digit provisions under heading 7806 and match the product to the applicable type or other stated distinction.
- Check the HTSUS classification notes, legal notes, and relevant product definitions; ask a customs broker or seek a binding ruling if the classification is uncertain.
- Keep product specifications, photographs, manufacturing details, and invoices that support the selected classification.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
