7113.20.50.00 - Other

HTS code 7113.20.50.00, described as "Other," serves as a residual category for articles of jewelry and parts thereof, made of base metal clad with precious metal. This classification captures items that do not fit into more specific subheadings within the broader category of base metal clad with precious metal. Essentially, if an article of jewelry or a part thereof is constructed from a base metal that is plated or covered with gold, silver, platinum, or other precious metals, and it does not fall under specific classifications for necklaces, neck chains, or clasps and their parts, it will be classified here.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7113.20.30.00, which specifically covers clasps and their parts. While both fall under the umbrella of base metal clad with precious metal jewelry, 7113.20.50.00 is for those articles that are not clasps. The intended use and function are key differentiators; clasps are designed to fasten jewelry, whereas this "Other" category encompasses a wide range of other jewelry items or components.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification under 7113.20.50.00 relies on careful consideration of the specific article in question and ensuring it does not meet the criteria for any more narrowly defined HTS classifications within Chapter 71 that involve precious metals or clad base metals. Examples could include rings, earrings, bracelets, brooches, or pendants made from base metal clad with precious metal that are not specifically described elsewhere.
