Lead Ores and Concentrates

U.S. imports of lead ores and concentrates (HS 260700) totaled $0 in April 2026, traded with 1 country.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Lead ores and concentrates are classified across six US tariff lines that separately track copper content (2607000010), lead content (2607000020), precious metal content (2607000025), silver content (2607000040), gold content (2607000050), and other metal content (2607000045) — reflecting the polymetallic nature of most lead-bearing deposits. This multi-line structure requires importers to submit detailed assay data so that each constituent metal's value is reported under the correct statistical suffix. Canada is the dominant supplier to the US under this heading, consistent with its major integrated lead-zinc mining operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a single shipment of lead concentrate often require entries across multiple tariff lines?

Lead concentrates are typically polymetallic, containing recoverable quantities of lead, silver, gold, copper, and other metals. The US schedule requires each metal content component to be reported under its own 10-digit line (e.g., 2607000020 for lead content, 2607000040 for silver content), so a single concentrate shipment commonly spans several lines based on assay results.

Which country dominates US imports of lead ores and concentrates?

Canada is by far the leading supplier under heading 260700, driven by its large integrated lead-zinc mining and smelting sector, particularly in provinces such as British Columbia and New Brunswick.
