Tin Spice Tin from China
A lidded canister made of unalloyed tin, designed for storing spices in a kitchen pantry. 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 a container of Chapter 94 or a toy). The tin construction prevents corrosion and preserves spice freshness.

Import Tips
• Verify the tin content: if the canister is made of tin alloy, ensure tin predominates by weight
• If the canister has a decorative or furniture-like design, it may be excluded by Section XV note 1(k) and fall under Chapter 94
• Check if the lid is a separate part; if imported separately, it may be classified under a different tariff item
