Analysis
Subheading 7113.20 covers of base metal clad with precious metal, within heading 7113. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 6 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 6 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 5.2% to 7% with a median of 5.8%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7113.20.10 for rope, curb, cable, chain and similar articles produced in continuous… (7%), 7113.20.21 for necklaces and neck chains, clad with gold: rope (5.8%), 7113.20.25 for necklaces and neck chains, clad with gold: mixed link (5.8%), 7113.20.29 for necklaces and neck chains, clad with gold: other (5.2%), 7113.20.30 for clasps and parts thereof (5.8%) and 7113.20.50 for other: other (5.2%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Jewelry and Silverware Manufacturing (339910). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
