Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 710700 when importing or exporting base metals that are clad with silver and not further processed beyond semi-manufactured forms. For instance, this includes items like silver-plated copper sheets or rods that are ready for further manufacturing but not yet shaped into final products.
This code specifically applies to semi-manufactured products, distinguishing them from fully finished articles like jewelry or utensils. For example, if you have a shipment of silver-clad metal wire intended for electrical components, this is the correct classification.
In contrast, HS-6 7106 covers articles made from precious metals that are fully manufactured, such as jewelry or decorative items. If your product is a finished silver-plated necklace, you would use that code instead of 710700.
When considering HS-6 710700, think about the end-use of your products. Items like silver-clad metal sheets for automotive parts or components for electronics fall under this classification, while fully finished products like silverware would not.
