This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If platinum content ≥2% by weight
Any alloy with ≥2% platinum classifies as platinum alloy per note 5(a).
If includes palladium if no platinum predominance but grouped differently
Note 2 specifies platinum excludes other PGMs for certain subheadings; palladium unwrought is 7110.21.
If chemically treated or in solution
Prepared binders or chemical preparations with PGMs go to Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide detailed alloy composition analysis showing no single predominant PGMs outside iridium/osmium/ruthenium
• Classify based on weight predominance per note 4 for PGM alloys
• Document commercial purpose to distinguish from scrap
