Palladium Hydrogen Getter
Unwrought palladium pieces used as hydrogen getters in vacuum systems, typically aerospace grade. These raw pieces absorb trace hydrogen and are imported before any assembly or fabrication. They fall under this tariff item as unwrought palladium, not as finished articles.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the getter is incorporated into a vacuum pump or vacuum apparatus
Vacuum pumps and vacuum apparatus are classified in Chapter 84, not Chapter 71.
If the palladium is in semi-manufactured forms such as bars, rods, or sheets
Semi-manufactured palladium is classified under a different subheading within heading 71.10.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the palladium is in unwrought form (e.g
• lumps, grains, or powder) and not fabricated into getter assemblies
• Provide technical data sheets to CBSA showing the product's function and composition
• If the getter is part of a vacuum apparatus, it may be classified elsewhere
Related Products under Tariff item 7110.21.00
High Purity Palladium Chunk
High purity palladium chunks in unwrought form, electrolytically refined and supplied to dental alloy manufacturers. The material is not shaped, powdered, or otherwise processed beyond the refining stage, qualifying as unwrought palladium under tariff item 7110.21.00.
Industrial Palladium Pellet
Cylindrical palladium pellets in unwrought form, pressed but not machined, used as raw feed for hydrogenation processes. The pellets are not powder and retain their unwrought character, making them classifiable under tariff item 7110.21.00.
Palladium Anode Unwrought
Cast palladium anodes for electroplating baths, in unwrought form. These consumable electrodes dissolve during the plating process and require no machining. They are classified under this tariff item as unwrought palladium, not as machinery or parts thereof.
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.
Palladium Flake Unwrought
Hammered palladium flakes from rolling mill shearings, still in unwrought form. The flakes are irregular in shape and do not meet the powder fineness definition, making them classifiable under tariff item 7110.21.00. This recycled material is used for plating solutions.
Palladium Grain for Electronics
Small, irregular palladium grains in unwrought form, used in electronics plating baths. The grains are not processed into powder and do not meet the sieve test, so they are classified under tariff item 7110.21.00. High purity is maintained to prevent contamination in plating processes.
