7118.90.00 - Other

This HTS category, "Other" under 7118.90.00, encompasses coins that are not classified under the preceding categories within heading 7118. Specifically, it covers coins that are not considered legal tender and are not primarily composed of gold, nor are they explicitly platinum coins. This designation serves as a residual category for coin-like items that do not fit the more specific classifications.

Distinguishing this "Other" category from its sibling, "Coin (other than gold coin), not being legal tender" (7118.10.00.00), is crucial. While both address non-legal tender coins, 7118.10.00.00 likely pertains to a broader range of base metal or non-precious metal coins. This residual "Other" category is reserved for situations where specific material subclasses, such as platinum, are further delineated, or for very specific, less common types of commemorative or non-currency coins not otherwise specified.

Within this "Other" category, further subclassification exists to refine the classification based on material. The subcategories "Platinum" (7118.90.00.20) and "Other" (7118.90.00.55) allow for more precise identification of the metal composition of these non-legal tender, non-gold coins. This granular approach ensures accurate duty assessment and adherence to trade regulations by recognizing variations in the precious metal content beyond gold and platinum.
