7104.29.00.00 - Other

This category, HTS 7104.29.00.00, encompasses synthetic or reconstructed precious or semiprecious stones that have not been further worked beyond being unworked, sawn, or roughly shaped. It specifically includes stones other than diamonds. These materials, whether they are laboratory-created or reconstituted from natural fragments, must meet the criteria of being either in their raw, unworked state or have undergone only rudimentary shaping processes. The key characteristic is the absence of significant processing such as cutting, polishing, or faceting, which would elevate them to more refined classifications.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, HTS 7104.21.00.00, is crucial for accurate classification. While both fall under the broader heading for worked or unworked synthetic or reconstructed stones, HTS 7104.21.00.00 is exclusively for synthetic or reconstructed diamonds. Therefore, HTS 7104.29.00.00 captures all other types of synthetic or reconstructed precious and semiprecious stones that are similarly unworked or roughly shaped, such as synthetic rubies, sapphires, emeralds, amethysts, or cubic zirconia, when they are not classified under the diamond specific subcategory.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Classification within HTS 7104.29.00.00 relies on the material being a synthetic or reconstructed precious or semiprecious stone and the extent of its processing. The "Other" designation signifies that any such stone fitting the unworked or simply sawn/roughly shaped criteria, and not being a diamond, will fall under this specific code. This ensures a comprehensive classification for raw or minimally processed synthetic gemstones.
