HS-4 · Heading
7110 — Platinum; unwrought or in semi-manufactured forms, or in powder form
Chapter 71: Natural or cultured pearls; precious stones
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7110 when importing platinum, palladium, rhodium, or other precious metals in unwrought or semi-manufactured forms. For example, if you're shipping platinum powder for jewelry manufacturing, this code applies directly to your product.
Choosing between HS-6 711011 and 711019 can be tricky. If your shipment consists of pure platinum in powder form, go with 711011. However, if the platinum is semi-manufactured, such as bars or sheets, 711019 is the correct choice.
When dealing with palladium, the distinction between HS-6 711021 and 711029 is crucial. If you have unwrought palladium, select 711021. For semi-manufactured forms, like palladium wire or plates, use 711029.
For rhodium, the same logic applies. Use HS-6 711031 for unwrought rhodium powder and 711039 for semi-manufactured items. This clarity helps ensure compliance and accurate tariff classification.
