Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tin predominates over lead
Tin alloys with tin > lead classify under Chapter 80 tin headings.
If shaped into bars/rods >6mm diameter
Profiles or bars of lead alloys become Chapter 78 other articles, not unwrought.
If chemically prepared as soldering paste
Prepared soldering materials with fluxes fall under Chapter 38 chemical preparations.
