7102.39.00.10 - Weighing not over 0.5 carat each

This HTS classification, 7102.39.00.10, pertains to non-industrial diamonds that have been worked (e.g., cut or polished) but are not currently mounted or set in jewelry or other articles. Specifically, this category encompasses such diamonds where each individual stone weighs 0.5 carats or less. The "worked" aspect distinguishes these from rough diamonds, while the absence of mounting or setting is crucial for proper classification.

The primary distinction for this category lies in the weight of the individual diamonds. It is differentiated from its sibling category, 7102.39.00.50, which covers non-industrial worked diamonds (not mounted or set) weighing *over* 0.5 carats each. Therefore, the precise carat weight of each individual stone is the decisive factor in determining which of these two categories applies.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Classification under this code is final once the criteria of being a non-industrial, worked, unmounted/unset diamond weighing not over 0.5 carats each are met. This ensures precise identification and consistent application of customs duties and trade regulations for these smaller, non-industrial diamond categories.
