Metals; palladium, semi-manufactured

HS v2022 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 various industrial applications, particularly in the automotive industry where it is used in catalytic converters to reduce vehicle emissions. The global palladium market is closely tied to the performance of the automotive sector, making this code an important indicator of industrial activity and economic health.

Production process

Palladium is primarily extracted from ores and then refined through a series of complex chemical processes. The raw palladium is first separated from other metals, then melted and cast into ingots or sheets. These semi-manufactured forms can then be further processed into a wide range of products, such as electrical contacts, jewelry, and laboratory equipment.

Production inputs

The production of semi-manufactured palladium requires several key inputs, including palladium-containing ores, specialized refining equipment, and significant amounts of energy to power the smelting and casting processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metallurgy and advanced manufacturing techniques.

Production outputs

The semi-manufactured palladium products covered by HS code 711029 are used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These include the automotive sector, which consumes palladium for catalytic converters 870323 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, the electronics industry for electrical contacts and components, and the jewelry and luxury goods sectors. The output of this industry is also closely linked to 711021 Palladium, unwrought or in powder form and 711031 Rhodium, unwrought or in powder form, as palladium is often extracted and refined alongside other platinum group metals.
