HTS heading 7115 is a broad product category for articles made of precious metal—such as silver, gold, or platinum—or of base metal covered with a layer of precious metal, when the goods are not more specifically described by another heading. “Metal clad with precious metal” generally means the precious-metal layer is bonded to the underlying metal, rather than merely plated or coated; confirm the legal meaning for the product and classification issue involved.
To narrow heading 7115 to an 8-digit HTSUS code, first identify the article’s construction and principal material, then follow the subheadings and statistical subdivisions for the specific type of item. The correct code may depend on whether the article is made of precious metal or metal clad with precious metal, which precious metal is involved, and what the article is designed to do. Check the current HTSUS text, legal notes, and classification rulings, and obtain customs-broker advice when the product’s construction or use is unclear.
What to check
- Describe the item’s function, physical form, and intended use before selecting a code.
- Verify the actual metal construction, including whether it is solid precious metal, precious-metal clad, or merely plated or coated.
- Check the applicable subheading and statistical subdivisions for the named precious metal and article type; do not stop at the 4-digit heading.
- Review Section XV and Chapter 71 notes, along with any exclusions that direct the product to a different heading.
- Keep product specifications, composition records, photographs, and supplier documents to support the classification, and ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling if uncertainty remains.

Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties.
