Pig lead

Unwrought lead in pig form

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7801 99 10 (pig lead) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Refined lead, lead alloys, and lead in other unwrought forms classified elsewhere within Chapter 78 may attract distinct compliance obligations depending on specification and intended use.

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 all unwrought lead products: refined lead and lead alloys classified under neighbouring lines in Chapter 78 carry their own classification requirements, and re-classification on customs examination — based on alloy content or purity grade — triggers retrospective compliance including detention pending resolution. Verify the precise metallurgical specification and purity against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
