Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If refined into unwrought palladium
Unwrought platinum group metals like palladium are in Chapter 71, not mineral ores.
If primarily manganese ore with trace PGMs
Dominant base metal content shifts classification to base metal ores.
If a slag or residue used in industry
Industrial slag/residues with metals fall under heading 2620 per chapter notes.
