7114.19.00.00 - Of other precious metal whether or not plated or clad with precious metal

This HTS classification, 7114.19.00.00, covers a broad range of articles that are essentially goldsmiths' or silversmiths' wares, and parts thereof, made from precious metals other than silver, or articles clad with these other precious metals. This includes items manufactured from platinum, gold, or other precious metals not specifically enumerated in sibling categories. The key defining characteristic is the use of precious metals, whether as the base material or as a cladding, in the creation of these articles.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7114.11, is crucial. While 7114.11 specifically addresses articles made of silver (whether or not clad with other precious metals), this category, 7114.19.00.00, is reserved for articles where the predominant or significant precious metal component is *not* silver. Examples within this classification could include intricately worked gold jewelry not adorned with pearls or stones (which would fall under other headings), platinum tableware, or gold-plated decorative items where the base metal is not silver.

As this node represents a leaf category in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 7114.19.00.00 is final for qualifying articles. Therefore, importers and exporters must carefully assess the composition and primary precious metal content of their goods to ensure accurate declaration and avoid misclassification. The absence of subcategories means that all articles meeting the criteria of being goldsmiths' or silversmiths' wares (and parts) of precious metal (other than silver) or metal clad with precious metal (other than silver) will fall directly under this specific code.
