Sourcing this category from India

HS 7802.00 covers Lead; waste and scrap. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India's lead trade centres on refined metal, much of it recovered from battery scrap. For sourcing it falls under our Handicrafts & Home Decor desk, where India runs deep cluster capacity. India exported $215 under this code worldwide in 2024, ranking #1 of 1 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).

How to read this code

7802.00 is the six-digit HS subheading for lead. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many base metals & articles lines — check our import guides for your market.
