Spanish to English translations [Non-PRO]
Transport / Transportation / Shipping

Spanish term or phrase: billas

This occurs in a ledger, under the heading "Product." So it's a product of some sort. A few examples of the other types of products in this same ledger are: Lead, Refined lead, Wheel weights, Lead alloy, etc.

It's a single entry, that word only and nothing else. In case it helps, it's defined as: "Brand: Surquillo," and "Type: Lead." "Country of origin: Peru."

There is no other context & nothing else I can see that would be of any assistance in determining where to look or what this might be. Help is much appreciated. Tks

If it's 'balines', then the same webref relates this product to air rifles, so 'pellets' (air-gun pellets) as distinct from 'shot' (for shotgun cartridges).
