7108.12.50.50 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS 7108.12.50.50, pertains to "Other" unwrought forms of nonmonetary gold, including gold clad with platinum. It encompasses gold in its basic, unworked state that does not meet the specific purity requirements of its sibling category. This means it covers gold that is not refined to a minimum of 99.95 percent by weight.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its gold content. While HTS 7108.12.50.10 specifically designates unwrought gold containing not less than 99.95 percent gold by weight, this category captures all other unwrought gold forms that fall below this high purity threshold. Both categories fall under nonmonetary gold and are unwrought, meaning they are in their raw, unmanufactured state, such as ingots, bars, or granules, not yet fabricated into jewelry or other articles.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into HTS 7108.12.50.50 relies on the absence of the specific purity criteria of its sibling. Importers and exporters should ensure accurate assay results are available to correctly determine if their unwrought gold product meets the 99.95 percent minimum purity for the sibling category or falls under this general "Other" classification.
