Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contaminated with other precious metals like gold or palladium
Sweepings or scrap containing other precious metals are excluded from 7112.92 and fall under 'other' precious metal scrap.
If in unwrought form like bars or powder rather than scrap
Unwrought platinum or platinum powders are classified in heading 7110, not as waste/scrap.
If recovered from electronic waste components
Platinum scrap from spent electrical contacts or catalysts is specifically directed to heading 8549 by chapter notes.
