Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If rhodium predominates over platinum in alloy
Alloys classified by predominant platinum group metal per subheading note.
If still functional as temperature sensors
Complete thermocouples are thermometers, not scrap.
If copper-based with minimal platinum plating
Base metal clad only if precious metal minor constituent.
