Palladium Sponge
Porous palladium sponge produced by precipitation and reduction, a semimanufactured intermediate form before pressing into ingots. Classified under HTS 7110.29.00.00 as 'other' palladium, not qualifying as powder per subheading note (less than 90% through 0.5mm sieve). Commonly used in chemical catalysis and hydrogen purification.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If iridium, osmium, rhodium, or ruthenium predominates
Subheading 7110.41 covers 'other' platinum group metals where those metals predominate by weight over palladium.
If chemically combined as salts or compounds
Palladium salts or organometallic compounds are inorganic chemicals under Chapter 28, not unwrought metal.
If unwrought but alloyed with 2%+ platinum
Chapter note 5(a) treats such alloys as platinum for classification in 7110.11.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide particle size analysis to distinguish from powder form; sieve test required for compliance
• Declare intended end-use (e.g
• catalysis) but classify based on form, not use; EPA TSCA may apply for chemical imports
• Watch for alloy contamination; if ruthenium exceeds predominance, reclassify per alloy rules in chapter note 4
