7113.19.10.00 - Rope, curb, cable, chain and similar articles produced in continuous lengths, all the foregoing, whether or not cut to specific lengths and whether or not set with imitation pearls or imitation gemstones, suitable for use in the manufacture of articles provided for in this heading

This HTS category encompasses various articles produced in continuous lengths, specifically rope, curb, cable, chain, and similar items. These articles are designed for use in the manufacture of jewelry or other articles of precious metal. The definition extends to items that have been cut to specific lengths or are set with imitation pearls or imitation gemstones, as long as their intended use remains in the creation of articles falling under heading 7113.

As a specific subdivision within "Other precious metal, whether or not plated or clad with precious metal," this category distinguishes itself by focusing on the forms and intended use of these precious metal components. While other sibling categories might cover finished jewelry or specific types of precious metal articles, this heading is reserved for the foundational elements used in their production. The emphasis is on articles that are essentially components or raw materials for further manufacturing within the broader jewelry and precious metal articles chapter.

Since this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 7113.19.10.00 is determined by the article's form (rope, curb, cable, chain, etc.), its composition of precious metal, and its suitability for use in manufacturing articles of precious metal jewelry or similar items. The presence of imitation pearls or gemstones does not preclude classification here if the primary article itself is a precious metal component intended for further assembly into articles of precious metal.
