Tin; unwrought, not alloyed

HS v2017 Code: 800110

About tin; unwrought, not alloyed

hs code 800110 covers the classification of unwrought, unalloyed tin. Tin is a soft, silvery-white metal that has been used for centuries in a variety of applications, from tin cans and solder to bronze alloys and chemical compounds. As a key industrial metal, the global trade in tin plays an important role in the broader economy, supporting industries ranging from construction and electronics to transportation and consumer goods.

Production process

Tin is primarily extracted from the mineral cassiterite through a process of mining, concentration, and smelting. Cassiterite ore is first crushed and processed to remove impurities, then heated in a furnace to extract the pure tin metal. The resulting tin ingots or blocks can then be further refined, alloyed, or shaped into various forms for industrial use.

Production inputs

The production of unwrought, unalloyed tin 800110 Tin; unwrought, not alloyed requires several key inputs, including cassiterite ore, energy sources for smelting, and specialized equipment such as crushers, furnaces, and casting molds. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the mining and processing facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 800110 is pure, unalloyed tin metal in various forms, such as ingots, blocks, or granules. This tin can then be used as a raw material for a wide range of downstream industries, including the production of 800120 Tin; unwrought, alloyed, tin-based alloys, and tin-coated products. The tin produced under this code may also be used in the manufacture of chemicals, electronics, and other specialized applications.
