U.S. imports of lead oxides (other than lead monoxide) (HS 282490) totaled $85K in June 2026, traded with 6 countries.
Importers of Lead Oxides (Other Than Lead Monoxide) paid $11K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $85K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Lead Oxides (Other Than Lead Monoxide) imports of $85K in June 2026 ran 53% below the year-to-date monthly average of $180K.
Last updated: June 2026 dataBeyond lead monoxide, the US tariff schedule subdivides other lead oxides into lead suboxide (leady litharge, 2824901000), red lead and orange lead (2824902000), and residual lead oxides (2824905000 and 2824909000). Red lead (Pb₃O₄) has historically been used as a corrosion-inhibiting primer pigment in heavy industrial and marine coatings, though environmental restrictions have significantly curtailed this use in many markets. Italy and Mexico lead US imports across this heading. As with all lead compounds, EPA TSCA import certification and DOT hazardous materials compliance are mandatory, and importers should verify whether specific end-use applications trigger additional restrictions under EPA's lead renovation and repair rules or CPSC consumer-product standards.

Lead suboxide — sometimes called leady litharge or gray oxide — is a mixture of lead metal and lead monoxide (PbO) produced by ball-milling or Barton-pot processes specifically for lead-acid battery plate manufacturing. It classifies under 2824901000 rather than with pure lead monoxide (2824.10) because its composition and production method are distinct. The lead metal content in the mixture is a key specification parameter that distinguishes it from pure PbO.
Yes. Red lead's traditional role as an anti-corrosion primer pigment has been substantially restricted in the US and EU due to lead's toxicity and hazardous waste classification. EPA regulations limit its use in many coating applications, and many industrial buyers have transitioned to zinc-based or organic corrosion inhibitors. Remaining demand is concentrated in specialized industrial maintenance, military, and export markets where alternatives have not yet been mandated.
