Tin-Lead Solder Alloy Ingot
An unwrought ingot composed primarily of tin with lead as the secondary element, used for soldering applications in electronics and plumbing. It falls under HTS 8001.20.00 as a tin alloy because tin predominates by weight and the total content of other elements exceeds 1 percent. Supplied in large bars for melting and casting.

This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tin content is at least 99% with minimal bismuth/copper
Pure tin without significant alloying elements falls under tin, not alloy, per subheading note (a).
If lead predominates over tin
Classification shifts to lead alloys under Chapter 78 when tin is not the predominant metal.
If supplied as scrap or waste for recycling
Tin alloy waste or scrap is classified separately from unwrought primary alloys.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify alloy composition via assay certificate to confirm tin predominates and meets Chapter 80 note (b) criteria
• Include mill test reports showing bismuth and copper contents below specified limits if applicable
• Avoid misclassification as scrap (HTS 8002) by ensuring material is unwrought and suitable for remelting
