7113.11.20.00 - Valued not over $18 per dozen pieces or parts

This HTS classification, 7113.11.20.00, specifically covers articles of jewelry and parts thereof, which are made of silver (whether or not plated or clad with other precious metal) and are valued at not over $18 per dozen pieces or parts. This includes a wide range of items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, and similar personal adornments, as well as components for these items, where the primary precious metal content is silver and the unit value falls within the specified threshold. The key determinant for classification here is the combined consideration of the material composition (silver), the nature of the article (jewelry or parts thereof), and a specific price point per dozen.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 7113.11.50.00 ("Other"), lies precisely in the valuation criteria. While both fall under articles of silver jewelry, 7113.11.50.00 captures similar silver jewelry items that *exceed* the $18 per dozen valuation threshold. Therefore, a crucial step in classifying silver jewelry under subheading 7113.11 is to accurately determine the value per dozen pieces or parts to differentiate between these two distinct classifications.

As this node is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 7113.11.20.00 is final once the item meets the criteria of being an article of silver jewelry or parts thereof and its value per dozen does not exceed $18. Examples of goods that would fall into this category include simple silver chains, inexpensive silver-plated earrings, or sets of silver findings for jewelry making, provided their unit value aligns with the specified limit.
