HS Code 711292

HS code 711292 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Waste and scrap of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal; other waste and scrap containing precious metal or preciousmetal compounds, of a kind used principally for the recovery of precious metal : Other : Of platinum, including metal clad with platinum but excluding sweepings containing other precious metals". The first two digits (71) are the chapter — Natural or cultured pearls, precious stones, precious metals; jewellery; coin — and digits 3-4 (7112) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 711292 include platinum scrap, platinum waste, platinum clad scrap, platinum recovery scrap and similar items matching of platinum. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (711292) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
