7113.19.50.95 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 7113.19.50.95, encompasses articles of jewelry and parts thereof, specifically those made from precious metals other than gold, which are either plated or clad with precious metal, and are not further specified. It represents a residual classification for such items where more specific subcategories within the broader "other precious metal" designation do not apply. The emphasis is on the material composition and the absence of specific design features or precious metal types that would warrant classification elsewhere.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7113.19.50.91, is crucial. The sibling category specifically addresses articles of jewelry made of gold, excluding particular forms like rope, curb, cable, chain, necklaces, neck chains, or clasps. In contrast, 7113.19.50.95 captures jewelry made from other precious metals (such as platinum or silver), regardless of plating or cladding, that do not fit into the gold-specific sibling category or any other more granular subgroup.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification of an item under 7113.19.50.95 depends on its exclusion from more specific headings and its conformity to the general requirements of being an article of jewelry or a part thereof, made of a precious metal other than gold, whether or not plated or clad with precious metal. Practical application will rely on thorough examination of the item's composition and design against the hierarchical structure of Chapter 71.
