7113.19.50.25 - Rings

This HTS category, 7113.19.50.25, specifically classifies rings made of precious metal, whether or not plated or clad with precious metal. This classification is within the broader scope of articles of jewelry and parts thereof, originating from precious metals. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is the item's form as a ring, designed to be worn on a finger.

To differentiate from sibling categories, 7113.19.50.21 covers necklaces and neck chains, while 7113.19.50.30 pertains to earrings. The "Other" sibling category (7113.19.50.45) would encompass jewelry items that are not rings, necklaces, neck chains, or earrings. Therefore, the focus here is exclusively on the ring form factor.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 7113.19.50.25 is final for rings composed of precious metals that do not fall into more specific classifications earlier in the hierarchy, such as those made from specific precious metals like platinum or gold. The material composition and the item's function as a ring are the primary determining factors for classification at this level.
