Last updated: July 2026 dataPalladium in unwrought or powder form is primarily consumed by the automotive industry for gasoline-engine catalytic converters, where it has largely displaced platinum due to price and performance characteristics. Supply is highly concentrated: South Africa and Russia together account for the overwhelming majority of global primary palladium production, making this one of the most geopolitically sensitive platinum group metal markets. The single 10-digit line 7110210000 covers all unwrought and powder forms, and importers should be attentive to sanctions compliance when sourcing from Russia. Accurate fineness and weight declarations are essential given palladium's high per-ounce value.

Russia is a leading primary palladium producer, and US importers must conduct thorough OFAC sanctions screening before transacting with Russian entities. Sanctions programs change frequently; importers should consult legal counsel and a licensed customs broker to confirm that any Russian-origin palladium transaction complies with current US Treasury OFAC requirements and any applicable export controls.
Unwrought palladium (ingots, sponge, grain) is typically the feedstock for further refining or fabrication into semimanufactured forms. Palladium powder, with its high surface area, is used directly in catalyst preparation, electronics pastes, and chemical synthesis applications. Both forms share tariff line 7110210000, but buyers should specify form in commercial documentation to avoid disputes over product specification.
