Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in powder form passing 0.5mm sieve
Platinum powders meeting subheading note criteria go to 7110.41, not scrap.
If containing refractory materials like zirconia
Labware with non-metallic components may classify as ceramic products.
If part of larger lab machinery
Scrap from assembled equipment could be machinery parts.
