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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If manufactured into finished articles or ornaments
Wrought pewter items shift to Chapter 71 as articles of base metal.
If conforming to low-lead pewter standards (lead ≤25%)
Traditional pewters with minimal lead use the other tin alloys subheading.
If zinc predominates instead of tin
Zinc-based pewter alloys classify under unwrought zinc chapter.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit chemical composition analysis from accredited labs to prove tin dominance and lead percentage
• Label as 'not for food contact' due to high lead; comply with CPSIA if for decorative consumer items
• Avoid classifying as 'antique pewter' without provenance; modern alloys stay in Chapter 80

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 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.
Tin-Lead Alloy Master Pellets
Small unwrought pellets of high-lead tin alloy (>25% lead) used as master batches for diluting in foundry melts. Falls under HTS 8001.20.00.90 despite pellet form, as unwrought and meeting alloy specs.
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.
