Unwrought tin
4 declarable lines
Heading 8001 covers unwrought tin, both not alloyed and alloyed. Alloyed tin is split by lead content: 5% or less, more than 5 but not more than 25%, and more than 25%. All listed lines carry a general (MFN) rate of Free.

How to choose the right subheading
- Decide whether the tin is not alloyed or is an alloy.
- For alloys, measure lead content by weight: 5% or less, more than 5 but not more than 25%, or more than 25%.
- Confirm the form is unwrought, such as ingots, pigs, slabs or blocks, not scrap, bars, wire, foil or sheets.
- Use the actual composition and form, not the trade name or intended use.
Often confused with
- Tin bars and rods
Bars, rods, profiles and wire are classified outside unwrought tin.
- Tin waste and scrap
Scrap and remeltable waste are separate from unwrought metal.
- Tin foil
Foil is a rolled flat product, not unwrought tin.
- Tin plates and sheets
Flat rolled tin products are not unwrought tin.
