7106.92.10.00 - Rectangular or near rectangular shapes, containing 99.5 percent or more by weight of silver and not otherwise marked or decorated than with weight, purity, or other identifying information

This HTS classification, 7106.92.10.00, specifically covers silver in semimanufactured forms that are rectangular or near-rectangular. The defining characteristic is its high purity, requiring at least 99.5 percent silver by weight. Crucially, these items are only marked with essential identifying information such as weight and purity, and do not bear any other decorative or functional markings or embellishments. This ensures that the classification is based on the material and form, rather than any further processing or design elements.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7106.92.50.00 ("Other"), is key. While both fall under semimanufactured silver, this specific subcategory (7106.92.10.00) is for those with a precise rectangular or near-rectangular shape. The "Other" sibling category would encompass semimanufactured silver items that do not conform to this specific geometric requirement. Therefore, the shape is a primary differentiator.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into this HTS code relies on meeting the specified criteria of silver purity, semimanufactured form, rectangular or near-rectangular shape, and the absence of any additional markings or decorations beyond essential identifying information. Examples might include silver bars, rectangles, or sheets intended for further industrial processing or fabrication, as long as they meet the purity and marking requirements.
