Products classified under HTS 8002.00.00.00
Tin Can Scrap
Waste material consisting of used tin-plated steel cans from food and beverage packaging, containing tin coatings that qualify as tin waste under chapter notes due to predominant tin content in the scrap form. Collected from recycling centers after consumer use. Primarily used for tin recovery in smelting processes.
Tin Solder Scrap
Scrap from used tin-lead or tin-silver solder wires and pastes, predominantly tin by weight per chapter note (b) as alloys with other elements exceeding 1%. Generated from electronics manufacturing and repair waste. Recycled to recover high-purity tin.
Tinplate Clippings Scrap
Trimming and edge clippings from tinplate sheet production, featuring electrolytic tin coating on steel base, classified as tin waste due to scrap nature and tin content per chapter definitions. Originates from metal fabricating plants. Ideal for remelting into new tinplate.
ETP Tin Scrap
Electrolytic tin plate scrap from rejected panels and overproduction, with pure tin electroplated layer meeting unalloyed tin note (a) purity thresholds. Sourced from can-making factories. Used in secondary tin production.
Tin Foil Scrap
Waste trimmings and rejects from thin tin foil rolling, unalloyed tin per note (a), used in packaging and electronics shielding. Generated in foil converting operations. High recovery value for pure tin.
Babbitt Tin Alloy Scrap
Scrap from tin-based Babbitt bearings, alloys with tin predominating over antimony/copper per note (b), from machinery overhauls. Common in industrial equipment recycling. Provides high tin yield.
Terne Metal Scrap
Waste from terne plate (tin-lead coated steel) roofing and automotive panels, tin alloy scrap under note (b) due to tin dominance. From demolition and repair sites. Recycled for coating recovery.
Pewter Scrap
Scrap from antique and modern pewter tableware (tin-copper-antimony alloy), qualifying as tin alloys per note (b). From artisan workshops and estate sales. Melted for new pewter production.
Tin Chemical Residue Scrap
Residues from tin chemical production like tin oxide scrap, metallic tin content predominant after processing. From chemical plants. Used for tin salt recovery.
Collapsed Tin Aerosol Can Scrap
Emptied and collapsed tin-plated aerosol cans, scrap per tin content. From consumer recycling. Detinned for steel/tin separation.
