How to choose the right subheading
- Confirm the article is made of tin; articles of other metals go to their own chapter.
- Decide whether it is a household, table, kitchen or toilet/sanitary ware; if so use 8007.00.10 and pick 8007.00.10.10 only if it is suitable for food or beverage service.
- For flat rolled tin, check thickness: over 0.2 mm is plate, sheet or strip, 0.2 mm or less is foil.
- Check whether the goods are powders or flakes, which have their own line.
- Check whether the item is a tube, pipe or pipe fitting before using the residual other line.
