HSN Code Details
Lead dross is a by‑product formed when molten lead is refined, consisting of a mixture of lead oxide, metallic lead particles, and residual fluxes that settle on the surface of the melt. It is typically collected, cooled, and processed into a granular or pellet form for further handling.
Because the material is dense and prone to oxidation, it is usually shipped in sealed steel drums with moisture‑absorbing liners, and exporters must secure an export licence from Indian authorities before dispatch.
