Metals; platinum, semi-manufactured

HS v2017 Code: 711019

About metals; platinum, semi-manufactured

HS code 711019 covers the semi-manufactured forms of platinum, a rare and valuable precious metal. Platinum is widely used in various industries due to its unique properties, such as high melting point, corrosion resistance, and catalytic activity. The global platinum market is closely tied to the automotive, electronics, and jewelry sectors, making this code an important part of the broader international trade landscape.

Production process

The production of semi-manufactured platinum involves several key steps. First, raw platinum ore is extracted from mines and refined to obtain pure platinum metal. The refined platinum is then melted and cast into various shapes, such as bars, sheets, or wires, depending on the intended use. These semi-manufactured forms may undergo further processing, such as rolling, drawing, or stamping, to achieve the desired dimensions and characteristics.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of semi-manufactured platinum is the raw platinum ore, which is mined from deposits around the world. In addition, the industry requires specialized equipment and machinery for refining, melting, and shaping the platinum. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for the various production processes.

Production outputs

The semi-manufactured platinum products covered by HS code 711019 are used as inputs for a wide range of industries. These include the 871000 automotive industry, where platinum is used in catalytic converters, the 854231 electronics industry, where it is used in electronic components, and the 711311 jewelry industry, where it is used in high-end jewelry. The output of this industry is also consumed by other 711010 platinum-related codes within the broader precious metals sector.
