7113.20.10.00 - 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, 7113.20.10.00, specifically covers articles such as rope, curb, cable, chain, and similar items. These articles are manufactured in continuous lengths and are intended for use in the production of other items falling under heading 7113. The classification applies regardless of whether these articles have been cut to specific lengths or if they are adorned with imitation pearls or imitation gemstones. The key determinant for inclusion in this category is their function as components for jewelry or other articles of precious metal or metal clad with precious metal, as outlined in the broader heading.

Within the context of "Articles of jewelry and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal," and further narrowed to "Of base metal clad with precious metal," this specific subcategory distinguishes itself from its sibling categories by its precise product definition. While other sibling categories might encompass finished jewelry articles or broader categories of clad metal components, 7113.20.10.00 focuses exclusively on these continuous-length articles designed for further manufacturing.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification is definitive for the described articles. For practical classification, emphasis should be placed on the continuous length production, the base metal construction clad with precious metal, and the clear intended use as components for the manufacture of articles covered by heading 7113.
