Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 711031 when importing or exporting unwrought rhodium in powder form. For example, if you're shipping a batch of rhodium powder for industrial use in catalytic converters, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers rhodium that is not yet processed into finished products. In contrast, HS-6 711032 applies to rhodium that is already in semi-manufactured forms, such as bars or sheets, which are ready for further manufacturing.
Rhodium is a highly valuable precious metal, often used in jewelry and automotive industries. If you're dealing with rhodium in its raw, unwrought state, this is the classification you need.
When classifying your shipment, remember that rhodium powder must be pure and not mixed with other metals to qualify under this code. If your product includes other precious metals, you may need a different classification.
