Metals; palladium, semi-manufactured

HS v2017 Code: 711029

About metals; palladium, semi-manufactured

HS code 711029 covers the semi-manufactured forms of palladium, a rare and valuable precious metal. Palladium is a key component in a wide range of industrial and technological applications, making it an important commodity in the global economy. This code encompasses the various intermediate products and semi-finished goods derived from raw palladium, which are then further processed and incorporated into a diverse array of end-use products.

Production process

The production of semi-manufactured palladium goods typically involves a series of refining, alloying, and fabrication processes. Palladium is first extracted from mined ores or recycled materials through complex chemical and metallurgical techniques. The purified palladium is then cast, rolled, extruded, or otherwise shaped into the desired semi-finished forms, such as sheets, bars, wires, or powders, depending on the intended application.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the palladium semi-manufacturing industry include raw palladium, as well as various alloying elements, fluxes, and specialized equipment for the refining, casting, and fabrication processes. Palladium is often alloyed with other precious metals, such as 711031 Rhodium, 711021 Platinum, or 711019 Gold, to enhance its properties and performance in specific applications.

Production outputs

The semi-manufactured palladium goods produced under HS code 711029 are then used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries, including 851140 Automotive electronics, 901839 Medical devices, 851790 Telecommunications equipment, and 851712 Smartphones. These industries rely on the unique properties of palladium, such as its high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and catalytic activity, to manufacture a variety of critical components and products.
