https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=53091 Chapter 71 classification turns on the chapter notes, not merely on the predominant metal by weight. Note 3(b) deems palladium to be platinum for the chapter, and Note 4 treats an alloy containing 2% or more by weight of platinum as an alloy of platinum. On that basis, silver palladium wire containing 30% palladium fell within the deemed platinum threshold and was classifiable as an alloy of platinum under sub-heading 7101.90. The fact that silver predominated did not displace the chapter-note deeming rule, and the residuary clause for other alloys could not apply where the specific deeming provision governed. en-us Thu, 26 Aug 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 09 Oct 2010 15:43:12 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=53091 Chapter 71 classification turns on the chapter notes, not merely on the predominant metal by weight.
