HS Code 7114.20 – Goldsmiths' and silversmiths' wares; articles of and parts thereof, of base metal clad with precious metal
HS code 7114.20 is the 6-digit subheading for goldsmiths' and silversmiths' wares, articles of and parts thereof, of base metal clad with precious metal. It is used for silver-clad serving dishes, gold-filled picture frames, rolled gold desk sets, base metal candelabras clad with silver and decorative items with precious metal cladding.
What HS 7114.20 covers
This HS code covers goldsmiths' and silversmiths' wares, and parts thereof, made from base metal clad with precious metal. Similar to jewelry under 711320, 'clad' implies a mechanical bonding process, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing layer of precious metal over a base metal core. This category offers the appearance and some properties of solid precious metal wares at a more accessible price point, making them popular in the luxury home goods market or as more affordable alternatives to solid precious metal pieces. Importers and exporters include manufacturers of decorative items, tableware, and luxury home accessories. The trade is driven by design trends, material costs, and consumer demand for durable, attractive items that offer perceived luxury without the full cost of solid precious metals.

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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
