Overview
This HTS code, 9705.31.00.65, classifies "Other" collections and collectors' pieces of numismatic interest that are over 100 years old but less than 250 years old. This category encompasses a broad range of items of historical or cultural significance related to coinage and currency, which do not fall under the specific sibling category of "Gold" at this same level. Examples include historical banknotes, early paper money, tokens, medals, or other government-issued or privately minted items that served as a medium of exchange or commemorate specific events, provided they are made of materials other than gold and meet the age criteria.
The "Other" designation is crucial as it distinguishes these items from the specifically enumerated "Gold" items within the same age bracket (9705.31.00.50). While both are numismatic items over 100 years old, this subcategory captures items composed of base metals, alloys, paper, or other non-precious materials. The primary classification criteria revolve around the item's numismatic nature, its age, and its material composition, excluding those primarily of gold.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification hinges on ensuring the item meets the definition of a numismatic collection or collector's piece, is demonstrably over 100 years old but under 250 years old, and is not primarily made of gold. Importers and exporters should be prepared to provide documentation or evidence to support the age and origin of these items to ensure accurate classification.
