Last updated: August 2026 dataDecorative and functional wares in the goldsmithing and silversmithing tradition — trays, candlesticks, picture frames, and similar objects — made from base metal clad with precious metal classify here rather than under solid precious metal headings. France leads US imports under this heading, with China and Brazil also significant sources, a mix that spans luxury artisan production and higher-volume decorative goods. The US schedule provides three 10-digit lines: a general line (7114200000), a household, kitchen, toilet, and sanitary ware line (7114200040), and a residual articles line (7114200060). Importers should distinguish these wares from jewelry (heading 7113) and from purely base metal articles (Chapter 83), as the precious metal cladding is the classification-determining feature.

CBP may request laboratory analysis or manufacturer's certificates confirming the bonding method and precious metal content. Articles that are merely electroplated with a thin precious metal layer may be reclassified under base metal headings in Chapter 83 if the cladding does not meet the bonded-layer standard required for Chapter 71 classification.
Line 7114200040 covers articles used in household, kitchen, toilet, and sanitary contexts — think serving trays, soap dishes, or bathroom accessories clad with precious metal. Line 7114200060 captures all other base-metal-clad goldsmiths' and silversmiths' wares not fitting that household/sanitary use description. The end-use environment of the article at the time of importation guides the selection.
