Last updated: August 2026 dataPlatinum wire cloth and grill catalysts are precision industrial inputs used primarily in nitric acid production, ammonia oxidation, and other high-temperature catalytic processes — applications where platinum's resistance to oxidation and high melting point are essential. Germany is the leading US supplier, followed by Singapore and Sweden, reflecting the concentration of advanced catalyst manufacturing in those countries. The heading resolves to a single 10-digit line (7115100000), and classification turns on the physical form: the article must be woven wire cloth or a grill structure of platinum, not a pellet, powder, or other catalyst form, which would classify elsewhere. Given the high intrinsic value of platinum, accurate weight declarations and valuation documentation are critical at entry.

Heading 711510 is specifically limited to wire cloth or grill configurations. Platinum catalysts in pellet, gauze-pad, sponge, or powder form classify under different headings — potentially in Chapter 28 (chemical preparations) or elsewhere in Chapter 71 — depending on their form and application. Misidentifying the physical form is a common classification error for this commodity.
No active Section 301 or antidumping/countervailing duty orders are broadly known to target platinum catalyst wire cloth from the leading suppliers (Germany, Singapore, Sweden). However, trade-remedy landscapes change; importers should verify current CBP and USITC databases at the time of entry to confirm no new measures apply.
