Import Tips

• Verify tin purity certificate showing at least 99% tin content with bismuth <0.1% and copper <0.4% to qualify as unalloyed tin

• Provide mill test reports for metal composition; common pitfall is misclassification as tin alloys under 8007.00.40

• Label products clearly as 'pure tin' to avoid reclassification during customs exam
