Last updated: April 2026 dataPrecious-metal and metal-clad watch straps, bands, and bracelets occupy a premium niche within the horological accessories market, classified under a single 10-digit line (9113100000) that reflects their high per-unit value and jewelry-adjacent positioning. Switzerland leads US import supply — consistent with its dominance in luxury watchmaking — followed by Italy and China. Because these articles are made of or clad with precious metal, importers must be prepared to substantiate metal content and purity claims for both customs valuation and any applicable hallmarking or consumer-protection requirements.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Metal clad with precious metal refers to base-metal articles that have been bonded or mechanically covered with a layer of precious metal (gold, silver, platinum, etc.), as opposed to electroplated articles. The cladding must be a distinct layer rather than a surface coating. Importers should obtain mill certificates or supplier declarations confirming the cladding method to support classification under 911310 rather than the base-metal heading 911320.
CBP may require a detailed commercial invoice stating the precious metal type, purity, and weight, along with the unit value. For shipments above the formal entry threshold, a formal entry with a surety bond is required. Importers should also retain supplier certifications of metal content in case of post-entry audit or CF-28 inquiry.
