Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 710692 when importing or exporting semi-manufactured silver products, such as silver bars or sheets. For example, if you are shipping silver ingots for use in jewelry making, this is the correct code.

This code falls under the broader category of silver products, specifically focusing on those that are semi-manufactured. In contrast, HS-6 710691 covers unwrought silver, which is not yet processed into any form.

The 710692 classification is for silver that has been worked into forms like plates, rods, or wires, but not yet finished into final products. This can include items like silver foil or silver wire used in electronics.

When dealing with silver products, it’s essential to distinguish between semi-manufactured and finished goods. For instance, if you're exporting finished jewelry, you would look at a different HS code, such as HS-6 7113.
