7110.49.00.50 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 7110.49.00.50, covers platinum group metals, specifically iridium, osmium, and ruthenium, that are not separately classified under a more specific heading. This designation applies to these metals when they are presented in unwrought or semi-manufactured forms, or as powder. Such forms are typically the result of refining processes and are intended for further industrial use or fabrication.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 7110.49.00.10 ("Iridium separately"), lies in the specific identification of the metal. While 7110.49.00.10 is dedicated solely to iridium, this category encompasses the remaining platinum group metals in this series (osmium and ruthenium) as well as any iridium that does not meet the criteria for separate classification under its sibling. Therefore, if a shipment contains a mixture of these metals, or forms of iridium that are not distinctly identifiable as "iridium separately" for tariff purposes, it would likely fall under this "Other" designation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 7110.49.00.50 is final for unwrought, semi-manufactured, or powdered forms of iridium, osmium, and ruthenium that are not specifically accounted for elsewhere in this chapter, particularly those not individually identified as "Iridium separately." The classification relies on the absence of more specific descriptions for the material presented.
