7108.12.50.10 - Containing by weight not less than 99.95 percent of gold 🖩

This HTS classification covers gold in unwrought or semi-manufactured forms, specifically in powder form, that contains by weight not less than 99.95 percent of gold. This high purity level is a critical determinant for classification under this subheading. Products falling here are typically used in high-value industrial applications, advanced manufacturing, or as investment-grade bullion where exceptional purity is paramount.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7108.12.50.50 "Other," the key differentiator is the stringent purity requirement. While both fall under "Other unwrought forms" of non-monetary gold, this specific subheading mandates a gold content of at least 99.95%. The "Other" sibling would encompass unwrought gold powder with a purity level below this threshold, or perhaps gold powder with minor, specified alloying elements that do not detract from its primary classification as unwrought gold.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive based on the material's form (powder), its unwrought state, its non-monetary designation, and most importantly, its extremely high gold purity exceeding 99.95% by weight. This level of detail ensures precise categorization for trade and customs purposes.
