Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in leaf or strip form thinner than 0.2mm
Thin tin leaf/strip for decorative use falls under 8007.00.10, not flakes/powders.
If used in jewelry as metallic powder
Articles of precious metal-clad base metals like tin powder in jewelry go to Chapter 71.
If cast into ingots or pigs before flaking
Master alloys or cast tin forms classify under 8002, not processed flakes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include flake thickness and purity lab reports to distinguish from foil or leaf under 8007.00.10
• Label as 'metallic flakes' not 'pigment' to avoid reclassification to Chapter 32 paints
• Check REACH compliance for EU imports if used in consumer paints
