7113.19.50.30 - Earrings

HTS code 7113.19.50.30 specifically designates "Earrings" that are crafted from or clad with precious metals, excluding those made of platinum group metals. This classification applies to articles of jewelry designed to be worn attached to the earlobe, whether they are studs, dangles, hoops, or other ornamental types. The defining characteristic is their intended use as adornment for the ear.

This category distinguishes itself from its siblings by its specific item type. For instance, while 7113.19.50.21 covers "Necklaces and neck chains" and 7113.19.50.25 covers "Rings," this 7113.19.50.30 code is exclusively for earrings. The sibling category 7113.19.50.45 serves as a residual category for "Other" articles of jewelry not otherwise specified within this sub-grouping.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 7113.19.50.30 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification at this level is definitive, relying on the presence of earrings made from precious metals (such as gold, silver, or platinum, but not specifically platinum group metals) to fall under this specific heading. Any variations in design or specific precious metal composition would not alter its placement here, provided the article is indeed an earring.
