Containing by weight antimony as the principal other element

Unwrought lead with antimony as principal alloying element

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7801 91 00 (unwrought lead containing antimony as the principal other element by weight) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other unwrought lead forms or refined lead under Chapter 78 may be classified differently and could carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 78 family: refined unwrought lead and lead alloys with a different principal alloying element are separately classified and may attract their own requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, if the antimony content does not in fact predominate — triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention pending re-assessment. Verify alloy composition certificates against the customs tariff entry before relying on the absence of compliance.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 7801 91 00 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the lead alloy has a different principal alloying element instead of antimony?
Unwrought lead alloys where another element predominates by weight are classified under a separate tariff line within Chapter 78 and may attract different compliance obligations.
