Last updated: April 2026 dataSemimanufactured platinum—wire, strip, sheet, tube, and similar worked forms—serves the glass fiber industry, laboratory equipment manufacturing, thermocouple production, and high-temperature chemical processing. South Africa and Switzerland lead US supply, with Germany also a significant source; Swiss and German precious-metals fabricators are known for producing tight-tolerance platinum strip and wire used in medical and analytical instruments. The single tariff line 7110190000 covers all semimanufactured platinum forms, so the classification boundary between semimanufactured and finished article is the key compliance question for importers of platinum components.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP generally treats platinum in wire, rod, strip, sheet, foil, or tube form as semimanufactured under 7110190000. Once the material is further worked into a specific finished article—such as a thermocouple element, a crucible, or a medical device component—it typically classifies in the chapter covering that article rather than in Chapter 71. The degree of further working and the specificity of the end-use shape are the determining factors.
As of current schedules, semimanufactured platinum is not broadly subject to Section 232 or Section 301 measures, but importers sourcing from any country should verify current CBP guidance and any applicable executive orders, as trade-remedy coverage can change. Consulting a licensed customs broker before entry is advisable for high-value shipments.
