Last updated: August 2026 dataRecovered tin material destined for remelting and refining enters the US under a single 10-digit line (8002000000), making origin and purity documentation the key compliance variables rather than compositional subdivisions. Mexico leads US import supply of tin scrap, with Hungary and Canada also significant sources. Traders should note that scrap tin shipments may require hazardous-material characterization under EPA rules if contaminated with regulated substances, and recyclers often need to demonstrate that material meets minimum tin content thresholds to avoid reclassification as waste under environmental statutes.

Importers generally need a commercial invoice specifying the form and estimated tin content, a packing list, and — depending on origin and contamination level — an EPA hazardous-waste determination. If the material originates from Mexico under USMCA, a certificate of origin can reduce or eliminate the MFN duty.
Tin scrap (HTS 8002000000) consists of discarded or recovered tin-bearing material intended for remelting, whereas unwrought tin (HTS 8001) refers to primary or secondary metal cast into ingots, slabs, or similar forms ready for further fabrication. The key test is whether the material has been processed into a defined commercial shape.
