High-Purity Ruthenium Shot (Unwrought)
Small spherical ruthenium shot produced by atomization but qualifying as unwrought due to irregular form. Falls under 7110.41.0050 for unwrought ruthenium not meeting powder sieve criteria.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If atomized to powder specification
Fine ruthenium shot passing sieve test is 'powder form'.
If gold alloy shot with >2% gold
Gold-predominant alloys classify under 7110.21 per note 5(b).

Import Tips & Compliance
• Test shot size against 0.5mm sieve to confirm non-powder status
• Declare as unwrought with melting intended-use statement
• Avoid packaging that implies semimanufactured use
