Tin; articles n.e.c. in chapter 80
Heading 8007 — Tin; articles n.e.c. in chapter 80
Chapter 80: Tin and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 800700 when importing or exporting articles made of tin that do not fit into more specific categories. This includes items like tin containers or tin-plated products that aren't classified elsewhere in the chapter.
This code is part of the broader 80 chapter, which covers tin and its articles. While other codes under this chapter might specify certain products, 800700 is for those miscellaneous tin articles that don't have a specific designation.
For example, if you're shipping a batch of tin cans used for food storage, you would classify them under 800700 if they don't meet the criteria for other specific tin articles. In contrast, 800600 covers tin foil, which is a more defined product.
When determining if 800700 applies, consider if your product is a finished item made of tin that doesn’t fall into the more detailed classifications. Items like tin toys or decorative tin pieces might also be included here.
