Platinum Catalyst Residue Scrap from Mexico
Spent platinum black residue from chemical catalytic converters, where 90% or more passes through a 0.5mm sieve, is classified as waste and scrap of platinum. It is destined for the recovery of platinum and does not contain other precious metals in significant amounts. This residue is a typical by-product of chemical processes and is imported for refining.

Import Tips
• Ensure the residue is free of other precious metals (e.g
• gold, silver) to qualify for this tariff item
• Provide a certificate of analysis from the supplier to confirm platinum content and absence of contaminants
• Declare the goods as waste and scrap for recovery; the CBSA may require proof that the material is not hazardous waste under Canadian environmental regulations
