Platinum Contact Point Scrap from Germany

Import Tips
• Separate platinum contact points from any base metal attachments before shipping to avoid classification issues
• Provide documentation showing the platinum content and that the scrap is not from electrical goods of Section XVI, which are excluded
• Work with a customs broker to ensure proper classification under waste and scrap, not as parts of machinery
