Tin; unwrought, not alloyed

HS code 800110 covers the trade of unwrought, unalloyed tin, a versatile and widely-used non-ferrous metal. Tin is a critical raw material for a variety of industries, including electronics, construction, and packaging. As a highly malleable and corrosion-resistant element, tin plays a vital role in the global economy, enabling the production of essential goods and technologies.

Tin is primarily extracted from tin ore, which is mined and then smelted to produce pure tin metal. The smelting process involves heating the tin ore to high temperatures, which separates the tin from impurities. The resulting tin is then cast into ingots or other shapes for further processing and distribution.

The main inputs required for the production of unwrought, unalloyed tin (HS code 800110) include tin ore, energy sources for smelting, and specialized equipment such as furnaces and casting molds. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the mining and smelting facilities, as well as transportation infrastructure to move the raw materials and finished products.

The primary output of HS code 800110 is unwrought, unalloyed tin, which is then used as a raw material in a wide range of industries. Some of the key industries that consume tin produced under this code include 811000 Tin and tin alloys, 851770 Parts of telephone sets, telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks, and 732310 Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of iron or steel; iron or steel wool; pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like.
