Tin; waste and scrap

HS v2022 Code: 800200

About tin; waste and scrap

HS code 800200 covers tin and tin waste and scrap. Tin is a versatile metal with a wide range of industrial applications, making it an important commodity in the global economy. It is primarily used in the production of tin cans, solder, and various alloys. The recycling and reuse of tin waste and scrap is also a significant part of this industry, contributing to the sustainability of tin supply and reducing the environmental impact of its production.

Production process

The production of tin involves mining and processing tin ore, which is then smelted and refined to produce pure tin. Tin waste and scrap are typically collected, sorted, and then remelted or reprocessed to recover the tin for reuse. Advanced recycling techniques, such as hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processes, are employed to extract tin from a variety of waste streams, ensuring a high recovery rate.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the tin industry include tin ore, which is the primary raw material, as well as energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, for the smelting and refining processes. Specialized equipment, such as mining machinery, smelters, and refining equipment, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the various production and recycling processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the tin industry are refined tin metal and tin alloys, which are used in a wide range of applications, including the production of 840810 tin cans, 852990 electronic components, and 811000 various metal alloys. The recycling of tin waste and scrap also produces secondary tin, which can be reused in these applications, reducing the demand for primary tin production.
