7106.92.10

Rectangular or near rectangular shapes, containing 99.5 percent or more by weight of silver and not otherwise marked or decorated than with weight, purity, or other identifying information

Analysis

HTS 7106.92.10 covers rectangular or near rectangular shapes, containing 99.5 percent or more by weight of silver and not otherwise marked or decorated than with weight, purity, or… under heading 7106 (silver (including silver plated with gold or platinum), unwrought or in semimanufactured…).

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 3%. Compared with 7106.92.50 (semimanufactured: other), which pays 3%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 3 percentage points.

The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 45% of the 108 tariff lines in chapter 71, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
