Tin-Lead Solder Alloy Ingot

An unwrought ingot composed of tin alloy with over 25% lead content by weight, used primarily for electronics soldering applications. This falls under HTS 8001.20.00.90 as it meets the definition of tin alloys where tin predominates but lead exceeds 25% by weight, distinguishing it from pure tin or low-lead alloys.

Tin-Lead Pewter Alloy Slab

Unwrought slabs of pewter alloy where tin predominates but lead exceeds 25% by weight, used in artisan casting and decorative metalwork. HTS 8001.20.00.90 applies as it fits tin alloy criteria with high lead, excluding lower-lead pewters.

Tin-Lead Fusible Alloy Ingot

Low-melt unwrought ingots of tin alloy containing more than 25% lead, used in fire sprinklers and safety fuses. HTS 8001.20.00.90 covers these as tin-predominant alloys exceeding lead limits in chapter notes.

Leaded Tin Type Metal Pigs

Unwrought pigs of stereotype metal alloy (tin base, >25% lead) for printing press type casting. HTS 8001.20.00.90 applies to these legacy high-lead tin alloys in pig form.

High-Lead Tin Babbitt Metal Bar

Unwrought bars of tin-based babbitt alloy containing more than 25% lead, designed for bearing and machinery lubrication surfaces. Classified under HTS 8001.20.00.90 due to tin predominance with excessive lead per chapter definitions, separate from pure bearing metals.

Leaded Tin Anode Bar

Unwrought tin alloy bars with over 25% lead designed as sacrificial anodes for electroplating and corrosion protection in industrial tanks. Falls under HTS 8001.20.00.90 for high-lead tin alloys in unwrought form, not as finished electrodes.
