Iridium-Ruthenium Alloy Wire
Iridium-ruthenium alloy wire in semi-manufactured form, containing 60% iridium and 40% ruthenium by weight. Since iridium predominates over ruthenium, the alloy is classified under the iridium subheading, and as a semi-manufactured form other than powder, it falls under this tariff item.
