This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7110.19.00Same rate: 25%

If alloyed with predominating PGM metals

Alloys where iridium, osmium, etc., predominate by weight over platinum classify as other PGM unwrought per subheading note.

7106.91Lower: 13% vs 25%

If containing 2%+ gold but no platinum

Per Chapter note 5(b), gold-dominant precious metal alloys shift to unwrought silver/gold classification.

7110.41.00Same rate: 25%

If in powder form passing 0.5mm sieve

Powder form (90%+ through 0.5mm sieve) for rhodium classifies separately under 7110.41 per subheading note.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify purity certificate showing 99.95%+ platinum content to confirm classification as unwrought platinum, excluding alloys

Provide assay reports and origin documentation; common pitfall is misclassifying sponge or powder as unwrought bar

Declare exact weight and form; ensure no secondary processing like hammering that shifts to semimanufactured
