Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 830621 when importing or exporting statuettes and ornaments made of base metal that are plated with precious metals such as gold or silver. For example, a shipment of decorative figurines made from brass and coated with a thin layer of gold would fall under this code.
This code specifically addresses items like ornamental statuettes and similar decorative pieces. It differs from HS-6 830629, which covers other non-plated ornaments made of base metal. If your product is simply made of base metal without precious metal plating, you would need to use that alternative code.
When classifying items under this HS-6, consider the end-use and the materials involved. Products like trophy statuettes or decorative figurines that have a shiny finish due to precious metal plating are included here. However, if the item lacks this plating, it would not qualify.
Be aware that the classification can affect duties and regulations. If your product is a decorative piece made of aluminum and plated with silver, it would be classified as HS-6 830621, while a similar piece made entirely of aluminum without plating would require a different classification.
