8007.00.10.10 - Suitable for food or beverage service

This HTS category, 8007.00.10.10, specifically classifies articles of tin that are *not elsewhere specified or included*, are of a type used for household, table, or kitchen use, and are not coated or plated with precious metal. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is the intended application for food or beverage service. This includes a wide range of items such as serving platters, pitchers, cups, bowls, and utensils made from tin, provided their primary function is for direct contact with or presentation of food and drink in a domestic or hospitality setting.

The distinction from its sibling category, 8007.00.10.50 ("Other"), lies in the specific functional criterion of "Suitable for food or beverage service." While the sibling category encompasses other miscellaneous tin articles not elsewhere specified or included that are for household, table, or kitchen use (e.g., decorative items, small storage containers), this subcategory is precisely for those articles whose design and purpose are directly related to the consumption or serving of food and beverages.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8007.00.10.10 is final for tin articles meeting the specified criteria of being for household, table, or kitchen use, not coated with precious metal, and specifically intended for food or beverage service. Importers should consider the primary use and design of the tin article when determining if it falls into this specific classification.
