Metals, gold, semi-manufactured.
Classification of gold sheets under HS 7108.13
Gold sheets are classified under HS code 7108.13. This classification falls within Chapter 71, which covers precious metals. Heading 7108 specifically addresses gold (including gold plated with platinum) in unwrought or in semi-manufactured forms, or in powder form. The subheading 7108.13 is designated for gold in \"other semi-manufactured forms.\" This includes gold that has been worked into sheets, plates, strips, tubes, or wire. To be classified here, the gold must be of a thickness that exceeds that of gold leaf (which is often classified elsewhere if backed) and must not have been worked into a finished article of jewelry or industrial equipment. The classification is based on the physical state of the gold as a raw material for further manufacturing.

Codes often confused with 7108.13
Common mistake. Gold sheets are frequently confused with HS code 7108.12, which covers unwrought gold (like bullion bars or ingots). The distinction lies in the level of processing; sheets have been rolled or hammered into a specific shape, making them semi-manufactured. Another common error is using HS code 7115, which covers \"other articles of precious metal.\" However, 7115 is only for finished products that do not fall under jewelry or semi-manufactured headings. If the sheet is extremely thin and used for gilding, it might be confused with gold leaf under 7112, depending on the specific thickness and backing material.

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).
