HTS tariff line · chapter 71

7107.00.00

Base metals clad with silver, not further worked than semi- manufactured

Analysis

HTS 7107.00.00 covers base metals clad with silver, not further worked than semi- manufactured under heading 7107 (base metals clad with silver, not further worked than semi- manufactured).

The general duty rate is 3.3% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 71 (60th percentile of 108 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $330 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3.3%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 30%, 9.1 times the general rate.

It is the only US line under subheading 7107.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 7107.00 points straight here.
