7104.91.10.00 - Cut but not set, and suitable for use in the manufacture of jewelry

This HTS category, 7104.91.10.00, specifically covers synthetic or reconstructed diamonds that have been cut but not yet set. The crucial aspect of this classification is that these cut diamonds are deemed suitable for direct incorporation into jewelry manufacturing. This implies they have undergone processing to achieve a desired shape, faceting, and polish, making them ready for the next stage of jewelry production.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7104.91.50.00 "Other," is essential for accurate classification. While both fall under the broader umbrella of "Other" synthetic or reconstructed diamonds, 7104.91.10.00 is narrowly defined for those cut and ready for jewelry. The "Other" category would likely encompass synthetic or reconstructed diamonds that are either uncut, in rough form, or have been cut but are not specifically deemed suitable for immediate jewelry manufacturing due to size, quality, or intended use in other industrial applications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 7104.91.10.00 relies heavily on verifying that the synthetic or reconstructed diamond has indeed been cut to a stage ready for jewelry assembly and is not intended for industrial or other non-jewelry purposes. This ensures that merchandise specifically destined for the creation of adornments is appropriately categorized.
