Last updated: August 2026 dataRolled lead plate, sheet, strip, and foil exceeding 0.2 mm in thickness is a workhorse material for construction waterproofing, roofing flashings, radiation shielding walls, and sound-attenuation panels. Germany and the United Kingdom lead US supply, consistent with their strong position in precision lead rolling across both thin and heavy gauges. The 0.2 mm lower boundary is the sole distinction from the thinner foil heading (780411), making accurate thickness certification at entry a routine compliance requirement. All US imports enter under the single line 7804190000.

No — end use does not affect HTS classification for lead sheet. Both construction and radiation-shielding applications fall under 7804190000 provided the material exceeds 0.2 mm in thickness. Classification is based solely on the physical form and gauge of the product, not its intended application.
Within 780419, there is only one 10-digit line (7804190000), so there is no sub-classification risk within the heading itself. The primary classification risk is the boundary with 780411 (foil and thin sheet at or below 0.2 mm) — a distinction that turns entirely on measured thickness and can be contested during CBP examination.
