What HS 7108.13 covers
This HS code covers gold that has undergone initial processing beyond its raw, unrefined state but is not yet a finished product. This includes forms like bars, rods, wire, sheets, and powder, which are destined for further manufacturing into jewelry, coinage, or industrial components. The international trade in semi-manufactured gold involves refiners, bullion dealers, industrial users, and jewelry manufacturers. Key aspects are the gold's purity (karatage), weight, and specific form, which dictate its suitability for various applications. This stage is crucial for transforming raw gold into usable forms for diverse industries, with significant value added through refining and initial shaping processes before it reaches its final consumer or industrial application.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
