HTS heading 8001 covers unwrought tin, entering the United States at duty-free. Unwrought tin including tin alloys. Used in soldering, tin plating, and tin-based chemicals. Beyond the base MFN duty, goods under this heading from most non-EU origins add the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10% standard, 12.5% for the ~28-economy forced-labor tier such as China, Vietnam, and Thailand), which took over from the expired Section 122 rate on July 24, 2026. EU-origin goods are capped at the 15% all-inclusive EU-US deal ceiling instead. Worked example: a $10,000 shipment under HTS 8001 owes about $0 in MFN duty (0%); adding the 10% base forced-labor surcharge brings it to roughly $1,000 from a standard-tier origin, or about $1,250 from a 12.5%-tier origin such as China.
