What decides the code
A ring is classified by its metal. Sterling silver rings fall under heading 7113, and stainless steel rings are imitation jewelry under heading 7117.
- The metal content decides the heading. Sterling silver is precious metal, so the ring goes to heading 7113 and line 7113.11.50.00.
- A stainless steel ring is base metal, not precious metal, so it is imitation jewelry under heading 7117 and line 7117.19.90.00.
- Plating does not move a base metal ring out of heading 7117. A silver plated stainless steel ring stays in 7117.19.90.00.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a stainless steel ring in 7113.11.50.00 is wrong because heading 7113 covers precious metal, and stainless steel is base metal.
- Classifying a sterling silver ring in 7117.19.90.00 is wrong because heading 7117 covers imitation jewelry of base metal, not silver.
