Importers of Other Articles of Precious Metal or Metal Clad with Precious Metal (NESOI) paid $1.7M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $13.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Other Articles of Precious Metal or Metal Clad with Precious Metal (NESOI) imports of $389.2M in July 2026 ran 26% below the year-to-date monthly average of $527.8M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataResidual precious metal articles not captured by more specific headings — including high-purity rectangular gold and silver shapes (bullion-adjacent forms), and miscellaneous articles of gold, silver, or platinum — fall here, making this a widely used catch-all for the precious metals trade. Switzerland leads US imports under this heading, with Australia and Canada also significant, a pattern consistent with the global bullion and refinery trade. The US schedule includes dedicated lines for rectangular-shape articles of 99.5% pure gold (7115900530), silver (7115900560), and other precious metals (7115900590), as well as residual lines for gold (7115903000), silver (7115904000), and platinum (7115906000) articles. Importers of near-bullion forms should pay close attention to whether the article's shape and purity push it toward coin or bullion classification in Chapter 71 headings 7108 or 7106.

Articles of gold in rectangular or similar shapes with a purity of 99.5% or higher are specifically enumerated under 7115900530, but CBP may examine whether such forms are commercially traded as unwrought gold or semi-manufactured gold, which would classify under headings 7108. The distinction turns on whether the article has been further worked beyond a simple cast or rolled shape; a licensed customs broker or binding ruling request can resolve ambiguous cases.
Switzerland is home to major global precious metal refineries and trading hubs, making it a natural origin for high-purity gold and platinum articles, including near-bullion forms and refined precious metal products that do not fit narrower headings. Australia and Canada also supply significant volumes, consistent with their roles as major gold and silver mining and refining nations.
