Last updated: July 2026 dataCut, shaped, or otherwise worked semiprecious stones that are not set into jewelry occupy two US tariff lines: 7103991000 for stones cut but not set and suitable for jewelry use, and 7103995000 for worked stones not suitable for jewelry. Germany and India are leading suppliers, with Thailand, Brazil, and Switzerland also prominent — reflecting both lapidary manufacturing hubs and raw-stone processing centers. Classification turns critically on whether the stone is suitable for jewelry use, a distinction that affects duty treatment and can require careful documentation of the stone's finish and intended application.

The key criterion is suitability for jewelry use. Stones that are cut but not yet set and are commercially suitable for jewelry are classified under 7103991000, while worked stones that are not suitable for jewelry — such as industrial-grade or decorative carvings — fall under 7103995000. Importers should document the stone's grade, finish, and intended end use to support the correct classification.
Standard commercial documentation includes a detailed invoice specifying the stone type, weight in carats, processing method, and declared value per stone. For certain species-derived stones or organic gems, CITES permits may apply. Customs brokers often recommend gemological certificates to substantiate classification and valuation, particularly for higher-value parcels.
