Spent Platinum Crucible Fragments from United States
Cracked and deformed platinum laboratory crucibles discarded after high-temperature use are waste and scrap of platinum. These crucibles are purely platinum without cladding and are imported for metal recovery. They are common in chemical and analytical laboratories and are not classified as goods of Chapter 90, as they are scrap.

Import Tips
• Remove any residual chemicals or linings from the crucibles before shipping to ensure clean classification
• Provide a statement that the fragments are scrap, not reusable laboratory equipment, to avoid classification under Chapter 90
• Document the platinum content and weight for accurate duty calculation
