Osmium Wire Semimanufactured
Osmium drawn into fine wire (0.05-0.5mm diameter) for pen nibs or catalyst supports, in coil or spool form. HTS 7110.49.0050 covers 'other' osmium in semimanufactured state, excluding unwrought or powder, as per platinum group definitions.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unwrought sponge form
Unwrought osmium, including sintered sponge, classifies separately from drawn wire semimanufactured forms.
If insulated for electrical use
Osmium wires with insulation become insulated electrical conductors under Chapter 85, not raw semimanufactured metal.
If mounted in finished jewelry
Osmium set in articles of personal adornment classifies as jewelry under heading 7113 per note 9.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide wire gauge specs and drawing process docs; exceeds tolerance risks reclassification as profiles
• Osmium toxicity requires proper hazmat declarations even in metallic form
• Statistical reporting suffix .50 mandates detailed value breakdown by metal content
