Platinum Thermocouple Wire Scrap from United States

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.

Import Tips
• Verify that platinum is the predominant metal by weight, as rhodium content may affect classification
• Cut wires into manageable lengths and remove any ceramic insulators before shipping
• Provide a composition analysis to the CBSA to confirm the platinum-to-rhodium ratio and avoid misclassification
