Last updated: July 2026 dataUnwrought silver — including silver that has been plated with gold or platinum — enters US trade as a primary precious-metals input for jewelry manufacturing, electronics, and monetary applications. Classification hinges on the form of the metal: unwrought means it has not been worked beyond casting or smelting, distinguishing it from semimanufactured bars, wire, or powder. Importers should note that silver bullion and unwrought forms can carry distinct duty treatment from fabricated silver products, and large-volume transactions are often tracked by commodity exchanges as well as customs.

Unwrought silver refers to metal in cast, ingot, or similarly unworked form — it has not been rolled, drawn, extruded, or otherwise mechanically processed. Once silver is rolled into sheet, drawn into wire, or reduced to powder, it moves into the semimanufactured category (SITC 68114). The distinction is critical because the two headings can carry different duty rates and are tracked separately in trade statistics.
No — silver that has been plated with gold or platinum remains classified under the silver heading (68113) as long as the base metal is silver and the article is still in unwrought form. The plating is acknowledged in the heading description but does not shift the product into a gold or platinum classification.
