HS Code 7113.20 – Jewellery; of base metal clad with precious metal, and parts thereof

HS code 7113.20 is the 6-digit subheading for jewellery, of base metal clad with precious metal, and parts thereof. It is used for gold-filled necklaces, silver-clad earrings, rolled gold rings, base metal pendants with precious metal cladding and gold-filled bracelets.

What HS 7113.20 covers

This HS code covers jewelry and parts thereof made from base metal that has been clad with a precious metal. 'Clad' implies a mechanical bonding process, typically involving heat and pressure, resulting in a thicker and more durable layer of precious metal compared to electroplating. This category offers the aesthetic appeal and some of the properties of solid precious metal jewelry at a more accessible price point, making it popular in the fashion and costume jewelry markets. Importers and exporters include mass-market jewelry manufacturers, fashion brands, and retailers. The trade is influenced by fashion trends, material costs, and consumer demand for affordable luxury. Quality control for the cladding process and adherence to labeling standards are important for international trade.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
