Tin-Antimony-Lead Alloy Pig (1.5% Lead)
Cast pig form of unwrought tin alloy with 1.5% lead, 5% antimony, for remelting into type metal or bronzes. HTS 8001.20.00.10 applies as tin predominates by weight, lead ≤5%, and other elements >1% per chapter note (b). Used in foundries for precision casting.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fit only for remelting and containing >5% impurities or residues
Tin waste and scrap (including remelting stock with significant impurities) heads to 8002, excluding clean alloys.
If alloyed primarily with chromium/nickel for tool steel applications
Certain alloy steel bars/pigs shift to Chapter 72 if other metals predominate over tin.
If shaped into simple articles like caps, lids, or stoppers
Other articles of tin (e.g., cast shapes for specific end use) classify under heading 8007.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit spectrographic analysis reports at entry to document precise elemental weights for classification
• Store and ship in clean conditions to avoid contamination claims shifting to waste/scrap (8002.00)
