About HS Code 800110
This HS code covers primary, non-alloyed tin in its unwrought form, typically presented as ingots, bars, or slabs. Tin is a relatively rare and valuable metal, playing a critical role in several key industries globally. Its primary applications include the production of solders for electronics, the manufacturing of tinplate for food packaging, and various chemical applications. Major importers are typically countries with significant electronics manufacturing, food processing, and chemical industries, such as China, the United States, and Japan. Exporters are predominantly tin-mining nations like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Peru. Key aspects of trade include the metal's purity (e.g., 99.9% Sn), its pricing on global commodity exchanges like the London Metal Exchange (LME), and the dynamics of its global supply chain, which can be influenced by geopolitical factors and environmental regulations in mining regions. Demand is consistently driven by technological advancements and consumer goods production.
Products Under This Code
LME Grade A tin, Standard tin ingots, High purity tin bars, Refined tin slabs, Electrolytic tin, Virgin tin, Tin blocks
Real World Examples
PT Timah tin ingots, Malaysia Smelting Corporation tin bars, Minsur refined tin, Yunnan Tin ingots, Alpha Assembly Solutions tin
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with 800120 (unwrought tin alloys) if the tin contains alloying elements, or with 7403 (unwrought copper) if the metal is misidentified, given their similar appearance in ingot form.
Products Classified Under 8001.10
Industry
This code belongs to the Metals & Metal Products industry.
Trade Overview
China, United States, and Japan are major importers, while Indonesia, Malaysia, and Peru are significant exporters of unwrought, non-alloyed tin.
