U.S. exports of nonmonetary gold, unwrought (non-powder) (HS 710812) totaled $2.9B in July 2026.
Importers of Nonmonetary Gold, Unwrought (Non-Powder) paid $27K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 4.1% on $662K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataUnwrought nonmonetary gold — encompassing bullion bars, doré, and other unworked forms excluding powder — is one of the most value-dense commodities in international trade, and its classification turns on purity and form: the US schedule distinguishes standard bullion (≥99.95% gold), lower-purity bullion, doré (a semi-refined alloy from mining operations), and other unwrought forms across seven 10-digit lines. Switzerland leads supply as a major global refining and trading hub, with Mexico and Canada also significant sources reflecting active mining output. Doré imports from mining jurisdictions typically require chain-of-custody documentation to satisfy anti-money-laundering and conflict-minerals due diligence expectations from financial counterparties. CBP values gold entries on the basis of gold content, making accurate assay certification essential for correct duty and statistical reporting.

CBP values nonmonetary gold entries based on the gold content of the shipment, not the gross weight of the alloy. Purity — expressed as a fineness or percentage — determines both the dutiable value and the correct 10-digit HTS line: for example, bullion at or above 99.95% gold is classified separately from lower-purity unwrought forms. An independent assay certificate from an accredited laboratory is the standard supporting document for both valuation and classification.
Doré — a semi-refined gold-silver alloy produced at mine sites before final refining — typically requires a mine-of-origin declaration, an assay report confirming gold and silver content, and chain-of-custody documentation tracing the material from the mine to the refinery. Financial institutions and downstream refiners increasingly require compliance with OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, even when the origin is not itself conflict-affected.
