HS code for Silver necklace
HS 2022Destination USConfidence 0.70Reviewed by a second modelArticles of jewellery and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal > Of precious metal whether or not plated or clad with precious metal > Of silver, whether or not plated or clad with other precious metal
Section XIV: Natural or cultured pearls, precious or semi-precious stones, precious metals, metals clad with precious metal and articles thereof; imitation jewellery; coins · Chapter 71: Natural or cultured pearls, precious or semi-precious stones, precious metals, metals clad with precious metal, and articles thereof; imitation jewellery; coin · Heading 7113: Articles of jewellery and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal
Why this code
A necklace is an 'article of jewellery' under Chapter 71 Note 9(a). If it is actually made of silver (an alloy with at least 2% silver under Note 5(c), e.g. 925 sterling), it falls in heading 7113. Within that heading, it goes to subheading 711311, articles of silver, by GRI 1 and GRI 6. However, many marketplace items called 'silver' are base metal that is only silver-plated or silver-coloured. Under Note 11, those are imitation jewellery of 711719. If the silver is mechanically clad onto base metal, the code would be 711320. The most probable reading of the seller's 'silver' claim is solid silver, but the actual material should be confirmed.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 6, Chapter 71 Note 1, Chapter 71 Note 4(A), Chapter 71 Note 5, Chapter 71 Note 9(a), Chapter 71 Note 11.
Alternatives considered
| Code | Description | Why not |
|---|---|---|
| 7117.19 | Imitation jewellery > Of base metal, whether or not plated with precious metal > Other | Applies only if the necklace is base metal that is silver-plated or merely silver-coloured (imitation jewellery). |
| 7113.20 | Articles of jewellery and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal > Of base metal clad with precious metal | Applies only if it is base metal clad with silver by mechanical means; nothing indicates this. |
| 7117.90 | Imitation jewellery > Other | Applies only if it is imitation jewellery of non-metal materials; the description says silver. |
Information that would confirm the code
- Is the necklace solid silver (e.g. 925 sterling, hallmarked), or base metal that is silver-plated or silver-coloured?
- If silver-coated, is the silver applied by plating or by mechanical cladding?
- Does it incorporate gemstones or pearls?

Confidence 0.35. The product is a finished silver necklace for personal adornment, so it is not a continuous-length chain for manufacturing (7113111000). Valuation is not stated, so the $18-per-dozen line cannot be supported; the residual 'Other' line 7113115000 is taken with lowered confidence because the value and purity are unknown.
