U.S. imports of jewelry & parts of precious metal or precious-metal clad (SITC 89731) totaled $927.3M in July 2026, traded with 122 countries.
Importers of Jewelry & Parts of Precious Metal or Precious-Metal Clad paid $96.0M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $697.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPrecious-metal jewelry — including gold, silver, and platinum pieces as well as articles clad with those metals — is one of the most value-dense import categories in the accessories trade, with watches and watch cases explicitly excluded and classified separately. Valuation methodology is particularly important here: CBP uses transaction value but scrutinizes related-party pricing and royalty arrangements common in branded fine jewelry supply chains. Italy, India, and other major jewelry-manufacturing centers supply the US market, and importers should be prepared for detailed entry documentation including metal content declarations and hallmarking records.

Yes. Watches and watch cases are explicitly carved out of this heading regardless of the precious-metal content of the case. They classify under the watches and clocks headings, where separate duty treatment and marking requirements apply.
CBP expects commercial invoices to declare the metal type (gold, silver, platinum), fineness or karat, and weight of precious metal content. Hallmarking certificates from the country of export, assay reports, and manufacturer's declarations of metal purity are commonly requested during examination, particularly for high-value shipments or when the declared value appears inconsistent with metal content.
