Import Tips & Compliance

• Declare the value based on platinum content, as the CBSA may assess duty on the metal value

Platinum Catalyst Residue Scrap
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.
Platinum Contact Point Scrap
Worn platinum electrical contact points from relays and switches, consisting of solid platinum tips, are waste and scrap of platinum. These tips are removed from electrical equipment and are imported for the recovery of platinum. They are not part of machinery or electrical goods, as they are scrap material.
Platinum Dental Alloy Scrap
Scrap from melted-down platinum-based dental crowns and bridges, predominantly platinum by weight, is classified as waste and scrap of platinum. Per chapter note 5(a), alloys with 2% or more platinum are treated as platinum alloys. This scrap is imported for the recovery of platinum and does not include metal clad with platinum.
Platinum Electroplating Rack Scrap
Worn titanium racks metal clad with platinum, where the platinum layer is the primary material for recovery, are classified as waste and scrap of metal clad with platinum. Chapter note 7 defines metal clad with precious metal, and this item explicitly includes such material. The racks are discarded after use in electroplating and are imported for platinum recovery.
Platinum Gauge Wire Scrapings
Filings and turnings from precision platinum gauge wire production are waste and scrap of platinum. These are pure platinum scrapings, free of other precious metals, and are destined for refining. They do not constitute sweepings containing other precious metals, as they are a single-metal by-product.
Platinum Thermocouple Wire Scrap
Discarded platinum-rhodium thermocouple wires from industrial furnaces are waste and scrap of platinum, as platinum predominates by weight per subheading note 3. These wires are used in high-temperature measurement and are imported for platinum recovery. They are not part of machinery, as they are scrap material.
