HS-6 · Subheading
711510
Metal; catalysts in the form of wire cloth or grill, of platinum
Heading 7115 — Articles of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal
Chapter 71: Natural or cultured pearls; precious stones
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 711510 when importing or exporting platinum catalysts made in the form of wire cloth or grill. These products are often utilized in chemical processes and refining operations.
This code specifically applies to catalysts that are made from platinum, distinguishing them from other precious metal catalysts. For example, HS-6 711520 covers similar catalysts made from palladium.
When classifying, consider that the wire cloth or grill form is crucial. These materials are typically used in high-temperature applications, making them vital for industries like petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Ensure you understand the specifications of your shipment, as the form and purity of the platinum can affect classification. If your product contains a mix of metals or is not in the specified form, it may fall under a different HS code.
