Chapter 71 classification notes

Duty rates often 0-6.5% but high declared values trigger scrutiny. Kimberley Process certification required for rough diamonds. Hallmarking requirements vary by country. Cash declaration rules often apply to precious metals.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Costume jewellery (base metal plated with precious metal) belongs in Chapter 71 heading 7117, not with genuine precious metal items. Watches classify under Chapter 91, not 71.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
