8007.00.20.00 - Tin plates, sheets and strip, of a thickness exceeding 0.2 mm

This HTS category, 8007.00.20.00, specifically covers tin plates, sheets, and strip that are of a thickness greater than 0.2 millimeters. These items are characterized by their relatively substantial gauge, differentiating them from thinner forms of tin materials. They are intended for various industrial and manufacturing applications where a more robust and rigid form of tin is required.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it is crucial to note the thickness requirement. Unlike tin foil classified under 8007.00.31.00, which explicitly does not exceed 0.2 mm in thickness, these plates, sheets, and strip are defined by their thickness *exceeding* this threshold. This makes them unsuitable for applications requiring the pliable and thin nature of foil. Other sibling categories, such as household articles, powders, flakes, tubes, and pipes, cover distinct forms and uses of tin, ensuring that only flat, relatively thick rolled products of tin fall within this specific code.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification within 8007.00.20.00 relies solely on the material being tin and the physical characteristic of its form as a plate, sheet, or strip with a thickness greater than 0.2 mm. The focus is on the definitive physical attributes to ensure accurate customs declaration.
