Last updated: July 2026 dataRhodium is the rarest and, by weight, often the most valuable of the platinum group metals, used almost exclusively as a catalyst component in three-way automotive catalytic converters and in glass fiber bushings. South Africa is overwhelmingly the dominant global source and leads US imports under this heading, with Germany and Belgium appearing as secondary suppliers through refining and recycling channels. The single tariff line 7110310000 covers all unwrought and powder forms, and the extreme per-unit value of rhodium makes precise weight and fineness declarations especially critical for accurate customs valuation. Supply disruptions at South African mining operations have historically caused dramatic price volatility, a concentration risk that downstream users actively manage.

The HS nomenclature assigns each platinum group metal its own subheading (platinum 7110.11/19, palladium 7110.21/29, rhodium 7110.31/39, etc.) to enable precise trade tracking given their distinct industrial uses, pricing, and supply chains. Rhodium's separate classification also facilitates monitoring of its highly concentrated supply base and supports accurate statistical reporting for this strategically important metal.
Given rhodium's high per-ounce value and price volatility, CBP expects robust valuation documentation: a commercial invoice stating the transaction value, an assay or refinery certificate confirming purity and net weight, and evidence of the arm's-length price (such as a reference to the London Metal Bulletin or Johnson Matthey published price on the transaction date). Importers should retain all supporting documents and consult a licensed customs broker for high-value entries.
