HS code for Silver sheets: 7106.92
Metals, silver, semi-manufactured.
Classification of silver sheets under HS 7106.92
Silver sheets are classified under HS code 7106.92 because they represent silver in a semi-manufactured state. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) and the Explanatory Notes to Chapter 71, silver that has been worked beyond simple unwrought forms—such as ingots, grains, or lumps—but has not yet been fashioned into finished articles like jewelry or silverware, falls into the semi-manufactured category. This classification includes silver that has been subjected to mechanical processes such as rolling, drawing, or extruding. Sheets are typically defined as flat-rolled products with a uniform thickness, usually exceeding 0.15 mm. The classification ensures that industrial raw materials are distinguished from both raw bullion (unwrought) and finished consumer goods. The material must contain at least 2% silver by weight to be considered a precious metal under this chapter. If the silver is plated with gold or platinum, different subheadings may apply, but pure silver or silver alloys in sheet form remain strictly within 7106.92.

Codes often confused with 7106.92
Common mistake. Silver sheets are frequently confused with HS code 7106.91, which covers unwrought silver. The distinction lies in the level of processing; 7106.91 is for cast bars or grains, while 7106.92 requires mechanical working. Another common error is using 7113.11, which is reserved for finished articles of jewelry. If the sheet has been cut to a specific shape for a piece of jewelry, it may still be 7106.92 unless it has reached the stage of a finished component.

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).
