Chapter 71: Natural or cultured pearls; precious stones

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7114 when importing or exporting articles made from precious metals like gold or silver, such as decorative silverware or gold jewelry. For example, if you’re shipping a set of silver candlesticks, this heading applies.

When deciding between 711411 and 711419, consider the material. Use 711411 for items made primarily of silver, even if they are plated with another precious metal. In contrast, 711419 is for goldsmiths' wares, which includes items made from gold or other precious metals, excluding silver.

For items made of base metals but coated with precious metals, such as costume jewelry that has a gold plating, you should classify under 711420. This line is specifically for articles that are not primarily made of precious metals but still have a precious metal finish.
