This heading covers unwrought lead at its different degrees of purity, from impure lead bullion or argentiferous lead to electrolytically refined lead. It may be in blocks, ingots, pigs, slabs, cakes or similar forms, or in cast sticks. Most of these forms are intended for rolling or extrusion, for manufacture of alloys, or for casting into shaped articles. The heading also covers cast anodes for electrolytic refining, cast rods intended, for example, for rolling or drawing or for re-casting into shaped articles.
The heading excludes lead powders or flakes (heading 78.04).
