Overview
This HTS category, 8001.20.00.50, specifically classifies unwrought tin alloys that contain a precise range of lead. To fall within this classification, the alloy must have a lead content by weight that is greater than 5 percent but not exceeding 25 percent. These are primary forms of tin alloys, meaning they are typically in ingots, pigs, or similar forms, intended for further processing in industrial applications.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings based on the precise lead content. HTS code 8001.20.00.10 covers tin alloys with 5 percent or less lead, while 8001.20.00.90 is for alloys containing more than 25 percent lead. Therefore, accurate quantitative analysis of the lead percentage is the primary determinant for correct classification within this subdivision of unwrought tin alloys.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 8001.20.00.50 is final once the criteria for lead content are met. Importers and exporters should ensure their documentation accurately reflects the lead composition of the unwrought tin alloys to avoid classification errors. Examples of alloys fitting this description might include certain types of solders or bearing metals, provided their lead content falls within the specified 5-25 percent range.
