Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for new steel trimmings without significant tin
Remelting steel scrap turnings without predominant tin goes to Chapter 72.
If coated sheets in coils, not scrap
Finished tinplate products in coils are classified under 7210 as flat-rolled iron.
If fabricated into articles like caps before scrapping
Wrought tin products become 8007 if not pure waste.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit mill test certificates showing tin coating weight (e.g
• 2.8 g/m²) to substantiate tin waste status
• Pack in bundles under 50kg to facilitate customs inspection and prevent damage claims
• Watch for reclassification to 7204 if clippings are deemed primarily steel trimmings

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.
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.
