Alternative Classifications

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

7106.92.50.00Higher: 38% vs 25%

If containing 2% or more silver

Note 5(c) classifies alloys with 2%+ silver as silver alloys in Chapter 71 heading 7106.

7110.19.00.00Same rate: 25%

If in powder form

Powder ruthenium meeting 90% sieve passage subheading note moves to powder-specific subheading.

2616.90.00Higher: 35% vs 25%

If as precious metal ore or concentrate

Unrefined ruthenium from mining residues classifies under Chapter 26 as mineral products.

Unwrought Ruthenium Bar

A solid bar of pure ruthenium metal in unwrought form, produced through electrolysis or chemical precipitation, weighing over 1 kg. It falls under HTS 7110.41.00.30 as unwrought ruthenium, not further processed into sheets, strips, or powder, used primarily as raw material for alloys in electronics and catalysis. This classification applies per Chapter 71 notes defining platinum group metals including ruthenium.

Ruthenium Sponge

Porous ruthenium sponge obtained from reduction processes, in unwrought lump form ready for melting into ingots. Classified under HTS 7110.41.00.30 as unwrought ruthenium, distinct from powder due to not meeting the 0.5mm sieve test in subheading notes. Commonly used in producing ruthenium catalysts for chemical industry.

Ruthenium Pellet

Small cylindrical pellets of pure ruthenium produced by atomization but remaining unwrought, used for alloy addition in metallurgy. Classified in HTS 7110.41.00.30 as unwrought ruthenium, not qualifying as powder per sieve definition in subheading notes. Applied in titanium alloy production for aerospace.

Vacuum-Distilled Ruthenium Lump

Irregular lumps of ultra-pure ruthenium purified by vacuum distillation, in unwrought condition for research applications. Under HTS 7110.41.00.30 as unwrought ruthenium per platinum group definitions in Chapter notes. Used in scientific catalysis and thin-film deposition.

Ruthenium Grain

Granular unwrought ruthenium grains from hydrogen reduction, larger than powder specifications, for dosed alloying. HTS 7110.41.00.30 classification as unwrought ruthenium excludes powder form per subheading note sieve test. Ideal for jewelry alloying and electrical contacts.
