Last updated: April 2026 data

Semimanufactured silver — rolled sheet, strip, wire, tube, and similar wrought intermediate forms — is classified under heading 7106.92, with the US schedule distinguishing silver of 99.5% or higher purity not otherwise marked (7106921000) from other semimanufactured silver (7106925000). Mexico and Canada lead supply, with Australia also a notable source; Mexico's and Canada's positions reflect both domestic refining capacity and the integrated North American precious-metals supply chain supported by USMCA. These forms serve as direct inputs for jewelry fabrication, electrical contacts, brazing alloys, and photographic or chemical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 99.5% purity threshold in 7106921000 affect classification of silver alloy strip or wire?

Tariff line 7106921000 applies to semimanufactured silver of 99.5% or greater purity that is not otherwise marked — essentially fine silver in wrought form. Silver alloys with significant base-metal content (such as sterling silver at 92.5% or silver-copper brazing alloys) would not meet this threshold and would be classified under 7106925000 or potentially under a different heading depending on alloy composition. Importers should obtain mill certificates confirming silver content to support the correct line.

What documentation is typically required to support a USMCA claim for semimanufactured silver from Mexico?

To claim USMCA preferential treatment, the importer must have a valid certification of origin — either a written or electronic statement from the exporter or producer — covering the shipment. For semimanufactured silver, the certification should confirm that the goods originate in Mexico under the applicable USMCA tariff shift or regional value content rule. Mill certificates, refinery records, and processing documentation may be requested during a CBP verification.
