What HS code 8002 covers
Think of broken, worn out or leftover tin pieces that are sold to be melted down again. Customs officers use the heading for tariff classification when this kind of material crosses a border.
You do not have to choose between several sub-codes. If your goods are tin scrap, you put 800200 on the paperwork.
People also search for this heading as HSN code 8002 or HTS code 8002. Whatever the name, the idea is the same: tin waste and scrap. Tin recycling trade is where most of this material ends up, since scrap is usually sold to be processed into new metal.
Before you file, always compare your goods with the official wording of the heading. If you are not sure, the HS code classifier can help you check a borderline case.
Where 8002 sits in the HS hierarchy
The HS groups goods in layers. At the top are sections, then chapters, then four-digit headings, then six-digit codes.
This layout is useful when you search. If you cannot find the right code, go up one level to the chapter and read the neighbouring headings. You can also browse every chapter from the main HS code list.
Difference between HS 8001 and 8002
The tin chapter splits goods by their form. The main question is simple: is the tin raw metal, a shaped product, or leftover material? Here is how the headings divide up.
Scrap goes to 8002, even when it is made of pure tin. Raw metal that has not been shaped goes to 8001. Do not mix the two, because a wrong heading can cause problems at customs and makes trade data harder to match.
- 8001: tin, unwrought
- 8002: tin, waste and scrap
- 8003: tin bars, rods, profiles and wire
- 8007: other tin articles not named elsewhere in the chapter
Who imports and exports tin waste and scrap
To find buyers of tin scrap, start from the code, not from a company name. Every shipment of this material is filed under 800200, so the code is the clearest path to the companies behind the trade. Import data shows who brings the material in. Export data shows who sends it out.
Buyer data and supplier data go one step further and help you turn raw records into a list of companies to contact. This page does not list duty or tariff rates. Rates change by country and over time, so check the live customs records and the classifier for your own case.
This page also shows no country tables, top-company lists or prices. To see real shipments for heading 8002, open the live records on EximDataX.
