U.S. imports of base metal statuettes & ornaments plated with precious metal (HS 830621) totaled $389K in April 2026, traded with 24 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPrecious-metal-plated base metal statuettes and ornaments occupy a distinct niche between fine jewelry and purely decorative goods — the precious metal plating (gold, silver, or platinum over brass, zinc, or other base metals) is the defining classification criterion separating this subheading from unplated counterparts. China is the primary supplier, with the United Kingdom and Thailand as notable secondary sources, reflecting both mass-production and artisan craft supply chains. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin goods, and the plating specification should be documented on the commercial invoice to support correct classification.

CBP may request a material composition certificate or laboratory analysis confirming the presence and type of precious metal plating (e.g., gold, silver, or platinum). The commercial invoice should explicitly state the plating material and base metal substrate. Without this documentation, CBP may reclassify the goods as unplated ornaments under 8306290000.
The distinction turns on whether the article is designed to be worn on the person (jewelry, Chapter 71) versus displayed or used as a decorative object (ornament, heading 8306). A plated figurine intended for shelf display remains in 8306; a plated pendant or brooch worn as personal adornment would move to Chapter 71. Function and marketing context both inform the classification analysis.
