Base metals, silver or gold, clad with platinum, not further worked than semimanufactured

HTS code 7111.00.00.00 classifies imports of: Base metals, silver or gold, clad with platinum, not further worked than semimanufactured. This line sits within Chapter 71 (Natural or cultured pearls, precious or semi-precious stones, precious metals, metals clad with precious metal, and articles thereof; imitation jewellery; coin), Section XIV (Natural or Cultured Pearls, Precious Stones, Precious Metals), and is catalogued as a heading in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. Duty is calculated against units of quantity: g. A footnote applies to this classification: See 9903.88.03.

The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 7111.00.00.00 is 10%, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. A special preferential rate of "Free (A,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG)" may reduce or eliminate duty when goods qualify under a free trade agreement such as USMCA, CAFTA-DR, or one of the bilateral FTAs. The Column 2 rate of 65% applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea, a much higher historical "full" tariff.

Footnotes: See 9903.88.03. Beyond the published rate, importers should check for Section 201 safeguards, Section 301 China tariffs, and any active AD/CVD orders that can materially change the real landed cost.
