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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily ferrous with minimal tin coating
Ferrous waste and scrap predominate if steel content outweighs tin, falling under Chapter 72 iron/steel.
If refined unwrought tin bars or ingots
Unwrought tin in primary form is classified under 8001, not waste/scrap.
If scrap from soldered electronics or jewelry
Tin waste from base metal articles like wiring shifts to Chapter 71 if resembling precious metal scrap forms.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify tin content meets chapter note (a) or (b) definitions via assay certificates to avoid reclassification as steel scrap
• Provide waste export permits from origin country and ensure compliance with Basel Convention for transboundary scrap movement
• Declare exact composition to prevent pitfalls like misclassification under 7204 for ferrous scrap
