711319 Chapter 71 · Jewellery Jewellery of precious metal, other
Six-digit subheading in Jewellery, chapter 71 of the Harmonized System, priced here for 4 destination markets.
Anatomy of 711319
You will declare against a longer local code that begins 711319: ten digits in the United Kingdom, eight in the European Union, and the first six the same everywhere. Which trailing digits apply is what the 4 rates below differ on.
What this code covers
Import duty by country
MFN duty rate · 4 countries| Country | Duty | VAT |
|---|---|---|
| 🇦🇺Australia | 5% | 10% |
| 🇩🇪Germany | 2.5% | 19% |
| 🇵🇹Portugal | 2.5% | 23% |

What that costs: 711319 into Germany
An illustrative consignment of 711319 invoiced at EUR 2,000.00, priced in EUR because a threshold is set in the destination's currency and nothing here is converted.
| Goods value on the invoice | EUR 2,000.00 |
| International freight | EUR 120.00 |
| Cargo insurance | EUR 30.00 |
| Value the duty is charged on, CIF basis | EUR 2,150.00 |
| Duty at 2.5% | EUR 53.75 |
| Germany tax at 19%, charged on the value plus the duty | EUR 418.71 |
| Total, before commercial charges | EUR 2,622.46 |
And if the consignment were small
Germany relieves nothing: the relief was abolished, so the duty above is charged whatever the consignment is worth. A smaller shipment pays less because the value is lower, not because a threshold spared it.
Selling rather than buying? EUR 2,622.46 is what your buyer in Germany pays to take delivery of this consignment, yours to pay if you quote DDP and theirs if you quote DAP: Exporting to Germany sets out who collects it and what your invoice has to say.
An illustration, not a quotation: broker fees, handling and any trade remedy on the origin sit outside it. Price 711319 on your own numbers in the duty calculator.

Markets with no figure recorded
United States: United States splits 7113.19 into 6 tariff lines and they do not carry the same rate: the schedule returned 5 to 7%. A single percentage cannot represent that honestly, so no United States figure is recorded and the calculator falls back to its disclosed category average.
Canada: Canada splits 7113.19 into 2 tariff lines and they do not carry the same rate: the schedule returned 5 to 6.5%. A single percentage cannot represent that honestly, so no Canada figure is recorded and the calculator falls back to its disclosed category average.
Re-check first: This is the residual precious metal jewellery line, so anything of silver belongs at 711311 instead. The United Kingdom charges the two at the same rate, and the United States splits this subheading into six lines that do not agree.
What falls under 711319
- Articles of jewellery of gold, platinum, palladium or another precious metal other than silver, whether or not plated or clad with precious metal
- Gold rings, chains, bracelets, earrings and pendants of any fineness
- Precious metal jewellery set with natural or cultured stones and pearls
What's specifically excluded
These look similar but belong under a different code:
Commonly confused with
711311: Silver jewellery
The metal of the article decides the subheading and its value does not. A heavy silver piece worth more than a thin gold one is still 7113.11, and a two colour piece is resolved on the metal that gives it its essential character rather than on which is more visible.
711320: Rolled gold and gold filled jewellery
Clad is a third state between solid and plated: a layer of precious metal mechanically bonded to a base metal core, sold as rolled gold or gold filled, and it has a subheading of its own. Merely plating base metal, however thick the plate, does not reach heading 7113 at all and lands in imitation jewellery instead.
711590: Other articles of precious metal
Heading 7113 wants jewellery, meaning small objects of personal adornment. A gold object that is not worn, a presentation piece or an industrial article, goes to the residual articles line even though the metal is identical.
Classification & cost note
The subheading turns on the metal the article is made of, not on what it is worth and not on how it looks. Silver takes its own line, every other precious metal comes here, and base metal that has merely been plated is not in heading 7113 at all: it is imitation jewellery, whatever the thickness of the plate. Clad, meaning a precious metal layer mechanically bonded to a base metal core and sold as rolled gold or gold filled, is the third state and has a line of its own. Three things hold consignments in this trade more often than the code does. Hallmarking and assay rules in the destination are a domestic marketing requirement rather than a customs one, but they are enforced against goods that have already landed, so a piece that cannot be legally described as gold in the destination is an expensive mistake made at the factory. Species controls attach to the whole article rather than to the component, so a piece containing coral, ivory or tortoiseshell needs permits covering the item even where the material is a fragment of it. And valuation attracts scrutiny, because a jewellery invoice that separates metal cost from making charge invites a question if the two do not reconcile to a defensible transaction value on a stated pricing date.

What the notes to section XIV say
Chapter 71 sits in section XIV, natural or cultured pearls, precious or semi-precious stones, precious metals, metals clad with precious metal and articles thereof; imitation jewellery; coins, and the nomenclature publishes no note to that section at all, so the note to chapter 71 is the highest rule over this code; that is the published position rather than a gap here, and the chapter 71 page says the same, read from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/sections/14 on 2026-09-08.
What the nomenclature says about heading 7113
711319 is a subheading of 7113, articles of jewellery and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal , and this site holds one other code under the same heading, which every rule below governs equally.
2 numbered notes to chapter 71 take heading 7113 as their own subject, and they are quoted below in full, as published.
Note 2 to chapter 71
(A) Headings 7113, 7114 and 7115 do not cover articles in which precious metal or metal clad with precious metal is present as minor constituents only, such as minor fittings or minor ornamentation (for example, monograms, ferrules and rims), and paragraph (b) of the foregoing note does not apply to such articles.
(B) Heading 7116 does not cover articles containing precious metal or metal clad with precious metal (other than as minor constituents).
Note 9 to chapter 71
For the purposes of heading 7113, the expression 'articles of jewellery' means:
a. any small objects of personal adornment (for example, rings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, earrings, watch-chains, fobs, pendants, tiepins, cuff-links, dress-studs, religious or other medals and insignia); and
b. articles of personal use of a kind normally carried in the pocket, in the handbag or on the person (for example cigar or cigarette cases, snuff boxes, cachou or pill boxes, powder boxes, chain purses or prayer beads).
These articles may be combined or set, for example, with natural or cultured pearls, precious or semiprecious stones, synthetic or reconstructed precious or semi-precious stones, tortoise shell, mother-of-pearl, ivory, natural or reconstituted amber, jet or coral.
Read from the notes to chapter 71 published in the UK Trade Tariff by HM Revenue and Customs, at https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/chapters/71, with the heading title from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/headings/7113, on 2026-09-07, with the whole layer and the reason a heading note is a chapter note set out on the chapter 71 page. These notes are part of the international text of the Harmonized System, so the rule is the same whichever destination a shipment is going to, and it decides classification and never a rate.
Questions about 711319
Is gold plated jewellery classified in this subheading?
No. Plated base metal is imitation jewellery of heading 7117 however thick the plating. Only solid precious metal and, in its own line, clad metal reach heading 7113.
What is the difference between clad and plated?
Clad is a precious metal layer mechanically bonded to a base metal core, usually sold as rolled gold or gold filled, and it has its own subheading. Plating is a deposited surface finish and does not reach heading 7113.
Does fineness change the code?
No. Nine carat and twenty two carat gold jewellery take the same subheading. Fineness matters for hallmarking and for value, not for the six digits.
What if a piece contains coral or ivory?
Species permits attach to the whole article. A permit is needed for the piece, not just for the fragment of listed material in it, and the absence of one stops the consignment regardless of the tariff position.
