7113.19.50 - Other

This HTS category, 7113.19.50, covers a broad range of articles of jewelry and parts thereof that are made from precious metals other than gold, or are metal clad with precious metals other than gold, and which are not specifically classified elsewhere within the "other precious metal" groupings. This designation acts as a residual category, encompassing items that meet the general criteria of precious metal jewelry but do not fall into more specific subcategories. Examples might include bracelets, earrings, rings, brooches, or decorative pins crafted from platinum, palladium, or other non-gold precious metals, or base metals extensively plated or clad with these precious metals.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings, such as necklaces and neck chains of gold (7113.11) or clasps and parts thereof (7113.19.30.00). While all fall under articles of precious metal, 7113.19.50 specifically excludes gold articles and focuses on non-gold precious metal items. Furthermore, it differentiates itself from more specific subcategories within "Of other precious metal" by capturing general articles not otherwise enumerated.

This category serves as a gateway to further refinements within the HTS. Its primary subcategories typically include classifications for items made of specific precious metals like platinum (e.g., "Of ISO standard platinum"), and a general "Other" category to capture the remaining items that do not fit into the more specific material subdivisions. This hierarchical structure allows for precise classification based on the precise composition of the precious metal used in the article's manufacture.
