Last updated: August 2026 dataSemimanufactured nonmonetary gold—including gold leaf (7108131000), high-purity strip at 99.5% or above (7108135500), and other worked forms (7108135000, 7108137000)—serves the jewelry fabrication, electronics, and decorative arts industries. Australia and Switzerland are the leading US suppliers, with Canada also a significant source, reflecting both primary gold production and advanced refining and rolling capacity. Gold leaf, classified separately from other semimanufactured forms, is used in gilding, conservation, and luxury packaging, and its extremely thin gauge requires careful handling and specialized packaging declarations. The purity-based subdivision at 99.5% in line 7108135500 is a key classification trigger that importers and refiners must verify against mill certificates.

Gold leaf has its own dedicated 10-digit line (7108131000) within this heading, separate from other semimanufactured forms. Its classification depends on it being in leaf form—extremely thin sheets used for gilding and decorative applications—rather than strip, wire, or other worked shapes. Importers should confirm the product's physical form and intended use to ensure correct line selection.
Line 7108135500 specifically covers semimanufactured gold at 99.5% or higher purity that is not otherwise marked or described. Products below that purity threshold, or those meeting other specific descriptions, fall into the NESOI lines (7108135000 or 7108137000). A refinery or mill assay certificate documenting fineness is the standard supporting document for making this determination at entry.
