How to choose the right subheading

Identify the metal: platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium, or ruthenium.
Determine whether the goods are unwrought or in powder form, or are in another semimanufactured form.
For iridium, osmium, and ruthenium, check whether the metal is presented separately, because separate lines apply in unwrought or powder form.
Confirm that the item is the metal itself, not waste and scrap, jewelry, or a finished article.
Use the specific 8-digit or 10-digit line that matches the metal and form.
