Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 711100 when importing or exporting semi-manufactured articles of precious metals, such as gold or silver, that are clad with platinum. For example, a shipment of gold-plated jewelry findings would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers items that are not further worked beyond semi-manufactured forms, distinguishing it from HS-6 711101, which includes finished jewelry. If you're dealing with raw or partially processed precious metal items, this is the appropriate classification.
The 711100 line is crucial for trade involving base metals that have a layer of precious metal, ensuring accurate tariff application. If you have items like silver bars plated with gold, this code applies.
When classifying your products, consider whether they are merely semi-manufactured or fully finished. For instance, a gold-plated ingot would use 711100, while a completed gold ring would require a different code.
