In addition to the articles mentioned in the HS Explanatory Note to heading 7806, second and third paragraphs, this subheading includes:
1. lead bricks or plates (not being articles of heading 7804), worked in such a way as to enable them to be fitted together to form walls or roofs providing protection against radiation;
2. small cylindrical lead receptacles, whether or not separable into several component parts, which act as pulse counters for radioactive materials. They contain an opening for the Geiger-Müller counter and the scintillation counter to be inserted and are often fitted with windows for the insertion of samples;
3. lead frames intended to hold special thick glass panes, constituting the windows of warm cells, i.e., areas where substances of high radioactivity are treated;
4. devices for the collimation of radiation;
5. lead tubes and pipes are generally produced by extrusion. Lead tubes, pipes and fittings (including S-bends for drainage traps) are chiefly used as conduits for water, gas or acids (for example, sulphuric acid or hydrogen chloride), as sheaths for electric cables, etc.
