Tin Kitchen Scoop from China
A handheld kitchen scoop made entirely of tin, used for measuring flour or sugar. It is classified under tariff item 8007.00.90 as an 'other article of tin' because it is not a foil, plate, sheet, strip, tube, pipe, powder, or flake, and is not excluded by Section XV notes (e.g., not machinery, furniture, or a toy). Its non-reactive surface makes it safe for food contact.

Import Tips
• Ensure the scoop is made of tin or a tin alloy as defined in Chapter 80; if it contains other base metals, the predominating metal by weight may change classification
• Declare the item's end use (kitchen utensil) to avoid misclassification as a machine part
• No import permit is required for tin articles unless they contain excisable goods like alcohol or tobacco
