Import Tips

• Verify platinum content exceeds 2% by weight per Chapter 71 Note 5 to confirm classification as platinum alloy if applicable

• Provide assay certificates documenting metal purity and sponge form to avoid misclassification as powder (requires 90% passing 0.5mm sieve)

• Declare as unwrought material; finished catalyst forms fall under Chapter 38 or 84
