Analysis
Heading 7106 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers silver (including silver plated with gold or platinum), unwrought or in semimanufactured forms, or in powder form. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 6 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
3 of its 5 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (60%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 3%. The median line pays duty-free.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 23rd percentile of the headings in chapter 71.
The largest subheadings are 7106.91 (unwrought, 2 lines), 7106.92 (semimanufactured, 2 lines) and 7106.10 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Nonferrous Metal (except Aluminum) Smelting and Refining (331410), Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (331491) and Secondary Smelting, Refining, and Alloying of Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) (331492). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
