Unwrought Osmium Ingot
Pure osmium metal in the form of cast ingots, not having been subjected to any processes beyond melting and solidification. Classified under HTS 7110.41.00.20 as unwrought osmium, a platinum group metal in its basic raw form prior to further manufacturing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloyed with other platinum group metals where osmium predominates
Alloys are classified under the predominant PGM per chapter note 5; pure osmium goes separately.
If in waste or scrap form
Osmium scrap or waste falls under heading 7112, not unwrought metal.
If chemically combined as a compound rather than elemental metal
Chemical compounds of precious metals are classified in Chapter 28, not Chapter 71.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate from accredited lab confirming osmium content as it must meet definitions excluding predominant other PGMs
• Include assay reports and origin documentation to avoid misclassification as scrap or alloys
• Declare as unwrought; semi-manufactured forms shift to different subheadings
Related Products under HTS 7110.41.00.20
Osmium Powder 99.9% Pure
Finely divided osmium metal powder where 90% or more passes through a 0.5 mm sieve, used in alloying and catalysis. Falls under HTS 7110.41.00.20 as osmium in powder form, explicitly defined in subheading notes for platinum group metals.
Cast Osmium Sponge
Porous osmium sponge produced by reduction processes, considered unwrought as it requires further refining before fabrication. HTS 7110.41.00.20 covers such basic forms of osmium, a dense platinum group metal used in alloys.
High-Purity Osmium Pellets
Small, pressed pellets of pure osmium used as starting material for evaporation and thin-film deposition. Classified as unwrought under HTS 7110.41.00.20 since no significant working beyond consolidation has occurred.
Electrolytic Osmium Cathodes
Cathode deposits of osmium from electrolytic refining, in plate form but still unwrought. HTS 7110.41.00.20 applies to such refined but unworked osmium metal.
