Metals; palladium, unwrought or in powder form
HS v2022 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 is primarily used in the automotive, electronics, and jewelry industries. As a highly versatile material, palladium plays a crucial role in the global economy, contributing to the production of a wide range of essential products and technologies.
Production process
Palladium is typically extracted from ore deposits through mining and refining processes. The ore is first crushed and processed to separate the palladium from other minerals. The palladium is then further refined using various chemical and electrochemical techniques to produce the pure metal in either unwrought or powder form.
Production inputs
The production of palladium requires several key inputs, including mining equipment, chemical reagents, and specialized refining facilities. Additionally, a skilled workforce with expertise in mining, metallurgy, and chemical processing is essential for the efficient and safe extraction and refinement of palladium.
Production outputs
Palladium produced under HS code 711021 is a versatile material that is widely used in various industries. It is a key component in the production of 870323 motor vehicles, 851790 telecommunications equipment, and 711311 jewelry. The output of this industry is also consumed by manufacturers of 901839 medical devices and 854231 electronic integrated circuits.
