Heading 8001 — Tin; unwrought
Chapter 80: Tin and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 800120 when importing or exporting unwrought tin alloys, such as those containing lead or copper, which are essential for various industrial applications. For example, a shipment of tin-lead alloy bars used in soldering would fall under this code.
This HS-6 specifically covers unwrought tin alloys, contrasting with HS-6 800110, which is for pure unwrought tin. If your product contains a mixture of tin and other metals, 800120 is the appropriate classification.
Alloys classified under 800120 are often used in electronics, plumbing, and automotive industries. Understanding the composition of your alloy is crucial for correct classification and duty assessment.
If you're dealing with tin alloys that are not purely tin, such as those with significant lead content, this code is essential. Be cautious not to confuse it with other tin products that may have different classifications.

- What types of products are classified under HS-6 800120?
- HS-6 800120 covers unwrought tin alloys, including tin-lead, tin-copper, and other mixtures used in various industrial applications.
- How can I determine if my tin product is unwrought?
- Unwrought tin products are typically in a raw, unrefined state, such as bars, ingots, or sheets, without any further processing.
- Are there specific import duties for tin alloys?
- Yes, import duties for tin alloys can vary based on the alloy composition and the country of origin. Check with your customs broker for specific rates.
- Can I use HS-6 800120 for tin products that contain other metals?
- Yes, as long as the product is an unwrought alloy containing tin as a significant component, it falls under HS-6 800120.
- What is the difference between HS-6 800120 and HS-6 800110?
- HS-6 800120 is for unwrought tin alloys, while HS-6 800110 is specifically for pure unwrought tin without any alloying elements.
- What documentation do I need for importing tin alloys?
- You will typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and possibly a certificate of origin, depending on the destination country's requirements.
- How do I classify a tin-copper alloy for customs?
- If the tin-copper alloy is unwrought and primarily composed of tin, it should be classified under HS-6 800120.
- What are common uses for tin alloys in industry?
- Tin alloys are commonly used in electronics for soldering, in plumbing for fittings, and in automotive applications for various components.
