HS-4 · Heading
8007 — Tin; articles n.e.c. in chapter 80
Chapter 80: Tin and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 8007 when importing or exporting tin articles that don’t fit into specific categories defined in chapter 80. For example, if you’re shipping tin containers or specialized tin components that lack a precise classification, this is the code to use.
When deciding between HS-4 8007 and other headings like HS-4 8006 (tin plates) or HS-4 8008 (tin foil), consider the form and intended use of your products. If your shipment consists of tin articles that are not plates, foils, or bars, 8007 is likely the correct choice.
If your product is a tin article but has a specific use or form, check if it falls under a more specific HS-6 line. For example, HS-4 8006 covers tin plates, while HS-4 8008 includes tin foil. If your item doesn't match these, then HS-4 8007 is appropriate.
