You have submitted samples of both the wire and the strip. You state they are both imported in continuous lengths and that they will be used to produce electrical contacts primarily in automobiles. We are returning your samples as requested.

The applicable subheading for the both the palladium wire and strip will be 7110.29.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for platinum, unwrought or in semimanufactured forms, or in powder form, palladium, other. The rate of duty will be free.
