Palladium Casting Grain
Granular unwrought palladium specifically designed for investment casting in jewelry production. The grains are uniform in size and melt evenly, but they do not meet the powder definition as they are not fine enough to pass a 0.5 mm sieve. This material is unwrought and classifiable under tariff item 7110.21.00.
