8007.00 - Other articles of tin:

Category 8007.00, "Other articles of tin," serves as a residual classification within Chapter 80, which is dedicated to tin and articles thereof. This category encompasses a broad range of finished or semi-finished goods made from tin that are not specifically enumerated or covered by more precise subheadings elsewhere within the HTS. It captures items where tin is the primary constituent or plays a significant role in the article's construction.

Unlike sibling categories that might focus on specific forms or treatments of tin (such as unwrought tin, or alloys), 8007.00 is reserved for completed articles. Its purpose is to ensure that all tin-containing articles, once processed beyond basic forms, find a proper classification if a more granular HTS code does not exist. The classification hinges on the definitive presence of tin as a base metal in the article, and the absence of a more specific HTS designation for that particular type of article.

This category is further subdivided to provide more granular classification for various types of tin articles. Subheadings distinguish between articles for household, table, or kitchen use, as well as toilet and sanitary wares, provided they are not plated with precious metals. Additionally, it differentiates between tin foil of varying thicknesses, powders and flakes, and tubes, pipes, and fittings. Finally, the residual subheading "8007.00.50.00: Other" is available for any remaining tin articles not covered by the more specific subcategories.
