Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in sheet or strip form
Semimanufactured flat-rolled products of ruthenium classify separately within heading 7110.
If alloyed into ferrous scrap
Ruthenium-bearing steel scrap moves to Chapter 72 as iron/steel waste.
If as ruthenium oxide precursor
Oxides and hydroxides of precious metals classify as inorganic chemicals in Chapter 28.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Test pellets to confirm they don't meet powder sieve criteria; declare total precious metal content accurately for duty calculation
• Partner with certified assayers to prevent undervaluation penalties

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.
Electrolytic Ruthenium Ingot
