Classification of silver household items under HS 7114.11
Silver household items, such as tableware, toilet-ware, and office-ware made of solid silver or silver alloys, are classified under HS code 7114.11. This code is situated within Chapter 71, which covers precious metals and articles made from them. The classification "silversmiths' wares" includes a broad range of finished articles used for domestic purposes. To qualify for 7114.11, the items must be made of silver that meets the legal definition of a precious metal (usually a purity of at least 92.5% for sterling silver). This heading includes items that may be plated or clad with other precious metals, such as a silver bowl gilded with gold. The classification is determined by the primary material composition and the intended use of the article. Unlike jewelry, which is classified under 7113, silversmiths' wares are typically larger, functional objects used in a household or professional setting. The inclusion of "parts thereof" in the heading also means that handles or lids made of silver for these items are classified here as well.

Codes often confused with 7114.11
Common mistake. A frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 8215, which covers base metal spoons, forks, and ladles. If these items are made of or even heavily plated with silver, they are often moved to 7114.11. Another error is confusing these items with 7113.11 (silver jewelry); however, 7113 is strictly for articles of personal adornment. Finally, items made of base metal that are merely silver-plated (not solid silver) are sometimes incorrectly placed here instead of in their respective base metal chapters.

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).
