HS code for Gold decorative items: 7114.19
Goldsmiths' wares, articles of and parts thereof, of precious metal (excluding silver) whether or not plated or clad with precious metal.
Classification of gold decorative items under HS 7114.19
HS code 7114.19 covers goldsmiths' wares and articles made of precious metal other than silver, which primarily includes gold and platinum group metals. Unlike code 7114.20, which involves base metals, 7114.19 is reserved for items where the body of the object itself is composed of precious metal. This includes items that may be plated or clad with other precious metals (e.g., a gold item plated with rhodium). These articles are typically used for domestic, office, or religious purposes. The classification excludes jewelry (7113) and items of personal adornment. The distinction is based on the function of the item; while jewelry is worn on the person, goldsmiths' wares are generally used as ornaments or functional household items. This code is vital for the trade of high-value luxury goods and religious artifacts made from solid gold or gold alloys.

Codes often confused with 7114.19
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with 7114.11, which is specifically for silver wares. Another frequent error is using 7114.20, which is for base metals clad with precious metal. Importers must verify if the item is solid gold or merely clad. Furthermore, 7113.19 (gold jewelry) is often used incorrectly for small decorative items; if the item is not intended to be worn on the body, it belongs in 7114. Finally, 7115 covers other articles of precious metal that do not fit the definition of goldsmiths' or silversmiths' wares, such as laboratory equipment.

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).
