HTS heading 7118 is the 4-digit product category for coins. It generally groups monetary coins and other coins, including coin-like items that may be made from precious or base metals. The heading is only a starting point; it does not by itself identify the exact tariff treatment.
To select the specific 8-digit HTSUS subheading, first determine what kind of coin the item is and how it is made. Relevant distinctions can include whether it is legal-tender currency, a commemorative or collector coin, a medal or token instead, and the metal or other material used. Then use the HTSUS hierarchy and the current statistical suffix to match the product’s facts. Confirm the result against the official tariff text and, when the distinction is unclear, seek a customs broker’s or classification professional’s advice.
What to check
- Confirm whether the item is actually a coin or is better classified as a medal, token, medallion, or another article.
- Document the item’s material and composition, including whether it contains precious metal and whether it is plated or solid.
- Determine whether it is current or former legal-tender currency, commemorative currency, or a privately issued collector item.
- Read all indented provisions under heading 7118 and compare the product facts with the wording of each possible 8-digit subheading.
- Verify the current HTSUS edition, statistical suffix, and any applicable government notes before filing an entry.
HTS heading 7118 summary
Coin is a 4-digit product category containing 2 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.

How do I choose the right code within this category?
