Last updated: April 2026 dataUnalloyed unwrought tin — ingots, slabs, and similar primary forms with no deliberate alloying additions — is the benchmark commodity traded on the London Metal Exchange and used as the baseline feedstock for tinplate, solder, and chemical production. Purity grade (commonly 99.85% or 99.9% Sn) determines whether a lot qualifies as LME-registered 'Grade A' tin or a lower-specification commercial grade. Supply concentration in a small number of producing countries makes this commodity sensitive to export-policy changes and logistics disruptions.

Tin is considered unalloyed when no element other than tin is deliberately added in quantities that would impart alloy characteristics. Trace impurities within standard commercial tolerances do not disqualify a product from the 'not alloyed' classification, but intentional additions of lead, antimony, or copper — even in small amounts — would shift the product to the tin alloy heading.
Standard import documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and a certificate of analysis confirming tin purity and the absence of restricted substances. Depending on origin, a certificate of origin may also be required to determine applicable duty rates or to support any trade-remedy exclusion claims.
