Chapter 80: Tin and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 8002 when importing or exporting tin waste and scrap, such as leftover tin from manufacturing processes or used tin containers. Accurate classification is crucial for compliance and duty assessment.
When determining if your product falls under HS-6 800200, consider the form of the tin. If you have scrap metal pieces, like off-cuts or trimmings from tin production, they typically qualify. However, if the material is mixed with other metals, further classification may be necessary.
If you're dealing with tin products that are not classified as waste or scrap, such as finished tin items or alloys, you will need to look at other headings. This distinction is important to avoid misclassification and ensure proper tariff application.
