HS Code 7110Platinum; unwrought or in semi-manufactured forms, or in powder form

What HS code 7110 covers

Heading 7110 is where customs places platinum and five related metals: palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium and ruthenium. Together they are often called platinum group metals. The heading takes them only in basic trade forms.

There are three forms to know. Unwrought means raw metal that has not been shaped into a finished item. Powder means the metal is in fine grains. Semi-manufactured means the metal has been worked into a basic shape but is not yet a finished article.

Some countries write this as the HSN code 7110 and others as the HTS code 7110. Both point to the same four-digit heading. The list of eight six-digit codes is in the table above, so this page focuses on how to use them.

How to choose the right 7110 subheading

Pick the metal first. Then pick the form. The last digit of the six-digit code tells you the form. A code ending in 1 means raw metal or powder. A code ending in 9 means semi-manufactured metal.

Platinum, palladium and rhodium each have their own pair of codes. Iridium, osmium and ruthenium share one pair between them. That makes four pairs, one for each group of metals.

Before you look up a code, write down what the metal is and what form it is in. If your invoice does not say both, ask your customs broker or supplier. A wrong form is the easiest way to end up with the wrong code.

7110 vs related headings in Chapter 71

Several nearby headings sound alike, so check them before you settle on 7110. Look at what your goods are made of, and whether they are scrap or finished items.

Silver has its own heading, 7106. Gold has 7108, and that heading also takes gold plated with platinum. A base metal, silver or gold that carries a layer of platinum, and is worked no further than semi-manufactured, goes in 7111.

Waste and scrap of precious metal go to 7112, even when the scrap is mostly platinum. Finished articles of precious metal go to 7115. If your goods are past the semi-manufactured stage, 7110 is not the right heading.
