Last updated: April 2026 dataTableware and similar article sets that include at least one piece plated with precious metal — gold, silver, or platinum — occupy a premium classification tier that reflects both their decorative value and the regulatory attention that precious-metal content attracts at entry. The 'at least one plated article' threshold means that a mixed set of stainless and silver-plated pieces classifies here in its entirety, a fact that affects duty calculation and valuation. Importers should ensure that precious-metal plating claims are supported by material certifications, as misrepresentation of plating content can trigger penalties beyond ordinary customs duties.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — the heading applies to sets containing at least one article plated with precious metal, so the presence of even a single plated piece brings the entire set into this classification. Importers should not attempt to split the set for classification purposes, as sets packaged for retail sale are classified as a unit.
Importers should obtain material certifications or mill certificates from the manufacturer specifying the type of precious metal used, the plating thickness or weight, and the base metal. These documents support both the classification claim and customs valuation, and they provide a defense against allegations of misrepresentation if CBP questions the plating content during examination.
