Tin; articles thereof
About chapter 80
Chapter 80 covers tin; articles thereof: one of the smallest metal chapters, reflecting tin's narrower use mainly in solder, tinplate and specialty alloys.
Classification tip: A meaningful share of world tin supply is 'conflict mineral' flagged under supply-chain due-diligence regimes (like the EU and US conflict-minerals rules), so confirm sourcing documentation alongside the HS code for electronics-grade tin.

Chapter 80 FAQ
What does HS code chapter 80 cover?
Chapter 80 of the Harmonized System covers: tin; articles thereof. It belongs to section XV (Base Metals) and contains 4 four-digit headings, 8001–8007.
How many HS codes are in chapter 80?
Chapter 80 contains 4 four-digit headings and 5 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.
Is HS code 8001 the same in every country?
Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.
How do I choose the right code within chapter 80?
Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
