U.S. imports of jewelry and parts of base metal clad with precious metal (HS 711320) totaled $3.0M in April 2026, traded with 41 countries.
Importers of Jewelry and Parts of Base Metal Clad with Precious Metal paid $295K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $1.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBase metal clad with precious metal jewelry occupies a distinct classification niche between solid precious metal jewelry (HTS Chapter 71, heading 7113.11) and purely base metal costume pieces — the cladding must be bonded, not merely plated. Jordan leads US imports under this heading, followed by Italy and India, a supplier mix that reflects both duty-preference arrangements and established manufacturing clusters in gold-filled chain production. The US tariff schedule breaks the heading into seven 10-digit lines covering chains for jewelry manufacture (7113201000), rope and mixed-link necklaces clad with gold (7113202100, 7113202500), other necklaces and neck chains clad with gold (7113202900), clasps and parts (7113203000), and remaining jewelry not elsewhere specified (7113205000). Importers should confirm whether the cladding thickness and bonding method meet the FTC definition of "gold-filled" or "rolled gold plate" to avoid mislabeling exposure.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The FTC requires that gold-filled articles have a gold alloy layer constituting at least 1/20th of the total metal weight, mechanically bonded to the base metal. Gold-plated items have a thinner electrodeposited layer and may classify differently under HTS. Importers should verify the cladding specification before declaring the HTS line, as misclassification can trigger penalty proceedings.
Jordan's prominence reflects its Qualifying Industrial Zone (QIZ) manufacturing infrastructure, which has historically supported jewelry production for export. Italy and India also supply significant volumes, with Italy known for precision chain manufacturing and India for cost-competitive gold-filled components.
