Unwrought lead. Chapter 78: Lead and articles thereof.
Every rate entry that applies to this heading carries this rate. In force on 7 Nov 2026.
Each row is an entry of a CBIC rate notification that names this heading, a code inside it or its whole chapter, in the notification's own words. Goods take the rate of the entry whose description fits them. GST is CGST plus SGST (or UTGST) in equal halves on a sale within a State, or IGST at the full rate on a sale between States.
