I don't know what's recommended but I do know that bagging with Intercept eliminates all oxidation in tin parts and platings and the need for dry packaging to boot. Email me if you'd like more information. dasalintercept@hotmail.com

First, your supplier is probably the best source of storage recommendations.

Second, storage under proper conditions (20�30�C, < 50% RH) should yield 12 months shelf life for immersion tin. Immersion tin boards should remain in sealed packages to: * Eliminate effects of humidity on tin copper intermetallic. * Reduce requirements for board baking, because excessive bake times and temperatures could degrade the tin finish.
