99.9% Pure Unwrought Tin Bars
> High-purity tin bars containing at least 99% tin by weight, with bismuth under 0.1% and copper under 0.4%, meet the subheading note 1(a) definition of "tin, not alloyed." These bars are unwrought, as they are in primary form from smelting and not yet worked into semi-finished or finished products, thus classifiable under 8001.10.00.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the bars have been worked (e.g., rolled, drawn, or extruded) after casting
Worked tin bars are classified under heading 80.03, not as unwrought tin.
If the bars are cut into specific lengths for use as finished articles
Cut or shaped tin articles fall under tariff item 8007.00.90.

Import Tips & Compliance
• > Confirm the bars are in unwrought condition—if they have been rolled, drawn, or forged, they would be classified as bars under heading 80.03
• Keep records of the smelter's certificate of analysis to demonstrate compliance with the impurity limits for non-alloyed tin
• Check if the goods are subject to anti-dumping or countervailing duties by reviewing the CBSA's measures in force
