Import Tips & Compliance
• Require chemical analysis confirming <0.1% bismuth and <0.4% copper for unalloyed status
• Comply with ISRI scrap specifications (e.g
• Thorn grade) for buyer acceptance
• Document origin to avoid anti-dumping scrutiny on Asian tin scrap

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.
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.
