HS Code 8001.10 – Tin; unwrought, not alloyed
HS code 8001.10 is the 6-digit subheading for tin, unwrought, not alloyed. It is used for LME Grade A tin, standard tin ingots, high purity tin bars, refined tin slabs and electrolytic tin.
What HS 8001.10 covers
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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
