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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloyed with other platinum group metals
Alloys where no single platinum group metal predominates over 2% by weight, or containing less than 2% platinum group metals, shift to other iridium/osmium/ruthenium forms per note 5.
If chemically classified as a compound
Ruthenium compounds like ruthenium chloride are excluded from Chapter 71 and classified in Chapter 28 as inorganic chemicals.
If in powder form with 90% passing 0.5mm sieve
Powder form meeting subheading note criteria separates from unwrought solid forms within the same ruthenium category.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate exceeding 99.9% ruthenium to confirm classification under precious metals; declare exact weight and form to avoid misclassification as semimanufactured
• Obtain CITES-like documentation if sourced from conflict regions and ensure proper hazardous material labeling for transport
