8007.00.32.00 - Powders and flakes

HTS Code 8007.00.32.00 specifically classifies powders and flakes of tin. This category encompasses finely divided tin material, either in a powdery state or as thin, flat pieces. These forms are distinct from other tin articles based on their physical presentation, designed for specific manufacturing processes or applications where a finely divided or flaked material is required.

This classification is differentiated from its siblings by the physical form of the tin. Unlike tin plates and sheets (8007.00.20.00) or tin foil (8007.00.31.00), which are characterized by their defined thickness and surface area, powders and flakes represent a much smaller particle size. Furthermore, this category is separate from more finished articles such as household goods, sanitary wares, or tubes and pipes (8007.00.10, 8007.00.40.00, 8007.00.50.00), as it pertains to the raw or semi-processed form of tin before its incorporation into more complex articles. As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions.
