Chapter 71: Natural or cultured pearls; precious stones
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 711320 when importing or exporting jewellery articles made from base metals but coated with precious metals. For example, a shipment of gold-plated earrings or necklaces falls under this classification.
This code specifically covers jewellery items that are primarily composed of base metals like copper or brass, which are then clad with a layer of precious metal such as gold or silver. This distinguishes it from HS-6 711319, which pertains to jewellery made entirely of precious metals.
When considering HS-6 711320, note that it includes not just finished jewellery but also parts or components that may be used in creating such items. This can encompass clasps, chains, and decorative elements that are clad with precious metals.
Be aware that while this subheading addresses jewellery articles, it does not cover imitation jewellery, which is classified under a different heading. If your product has no precious metal content, you might need to look at HS-6 7117 for imitation items.
