Metals; palladium, unwrought or in powder form

HS v2017 Code: 711021

About metals; palladium, unwrought or in powder form

HS code 711021 covers the trade of unwrought palladium or palladium in powder form. Palladium is a rare and valuable precious metal that has a wide range of industrial and technological applications. As a member of the platinum group metals, palladium plays a crucial role in various industries, contributing to the global economy and technological advancements.

Production process

Palladium is primarily extracted from ore deposits through mining and refining processes. The ore is first crushed and processed to concentrate the palladium content. The concentrated palladium is then further refined using various techniques, such as chemical separation, electrochemical methods, or pyrometallurgical processes, to obtain the pure, unwrought metal or palladium powder.

Production inputs

The production of palladium under HS code 711021 requires several key inputs, including palladium-containing ores, mining and processing equipment, and specialized refining facilities. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, energy sources, and a well-developed transportation and logistics infrastructure to support the movement of raw materials and finished products.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 711021 is unwrought palladium or palladium in powder form. These palladium products are then consumed by various industries, including 711031 Metals; palladium, semi-manufactured, 840420 Parts of machinery and apparatus for the industrial application of gas, and 851790 Parts of telephone sets, telephones, telegraphs, and other apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, among others. Palladium is widely used in catalytic converters, electronics, jewelry, and other high-tech applications.
