Products classified under HTS 7110.49.00
Iridium Sponge
Iridium sponge is a porous, semi-manufactured form of iridium metal produced by reducing iridium compounds, used in the manufacture of high-temperature alloys and spark plugs. It falls under HTS 7110.49.00 as 'other' iridium in semi-manufactured form, distinct from unwrought bars or powder. This classification applies per Chapter 71 notes treating iridium as platinum group metals.
Osmium Wire (Semi-Manufactured)
Osmium wire in semi-manufactured form, typically 0.5-1mm diameter, used in medical implants and electrical contacts due to its hardness. Classified under HTS 7110.49.00 as 'other' osmium, ruthenium, or iridium not unwrought or powder. Excludes fully finished products per Chapter 71 structure.
Ruthenium Foil (Thickness 0.1mm)
Thin ruthenium foil (0.1mm thick) in semi-manufactured form for plating baths and catalyst production. HTS 7110.49.00 covers 'other' forms of ruthenium excluding unwrought and powder, as defined in Chapter notes for platinum group metals.
Iridium Sheet (Semi-Manufactured)
Rolled iridium sheet (semi-manufactured, 1mm thick) for crucibles in semiconductor production. Under HTS 7110.49.00 as other iridium forms; unwrought would be cast ingots, excluded here.
Ruthenium Strip for Catalysts
Ruthenium metal strip (semi-manufactured, 0.2mm x 10mm) used as catalyst precursor in hydrogenation processes. Classifies in HTS 7110.49.00 for other ruthenium forms per platinum group definitions.
Osmium Black Powder Alternative Form
Osmium black in compacted semi-manufactured pellets (not qualifying as powder per sieve test), used in alloying. HTS 7110.49.00 for other osmium forms excluding true powder.
Iridium-Ruthenium Alloy Wire
Semi-manufactured wire alloy with 60% iridium / 40% ruthenium for electrical contacts. Classified under HTS 7110.49.00 as iridium-predominant alloy per note 5 weight rules.
Ruthenium Discs (Semi-Manufactured)
Precision-cut ruthenium discs (10mm diameter, 0.5mm thick) for sputtering targets. HTS 7110.49.00 covers these other semi-manufactured ruthenium forms.
