HS Code for Platinum jewelry

Platinum jewelry is classified under HS code 7113.19. Heading 7113 covers \"Articles of jewellery and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal.\" For the purposes of the HS nomenclature, jewelry includes small objects of personal adornment such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. Subheading 7113.19 is the specific classification for jewelry made of precious metals other than silver, which encompasses platinum, palladium, and gold. The classification is driven by GRI 1, as the product's primary function is personal adornment and its primary value is derived from the precious metal content. This code also includes jewelry parts, such as clasps or settings, provided they are made of platinum. It is essential to distinguish these from imitation jewelry or articles of functional use, as the tax and duty implications for precious metal jewelry are significantly different.

Products Included

• Platinum earrings set with diamonds
• Platinum pendants and necklaces

Common Misclassification

Platinum jewelry is frequently confused with imitation jewelry under heading 7117. However, 7117 is strictly for items not containing precious metals (except as minor constituents). Another common error is using 7114.19 for jewelry; 7114 is for \"Goldsmiths' wares\" like trophies or tableware, not personal adornment. Additionally, watch straps made of platinum are excluded from 7113 and must be classified under 9113.10.
