About stones; precious or semi-precious, synthetic or reconstructed, (not piezo-electric quartz), worked or graded or not, (but not strung, mounted or set), temporarily strung for transport convenience, n.e.c. in item no. 7104.20

HS code 710490 covers a diverse range of synthetic and reconstructed precious and semi-precious stones. These materials play a crucial role in the jewelry, gemstone, and decorative industries, providing cost-effective alternatives to natural stones. The global trade in these products is significant, with demand driven by their versatility, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

Production process

The production of synthetic and reconstructed stones under HS code 710490 typically involves advanced manufacturing techniques. This may include processes such as crystal growth, chemical vapor deposition, and high-temperature sintering. Skilled artisans also play a key role in cutting, polishing, and grading these stones to meet the exacting standards of the jewelry and gemstone markets.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 710490 items include a range of raw materials such as mineral compounds, chemical precursors, and specialized equipment like furnaces, growth chambers, and polishing tools. Access to advanced manufacturing capabilities and a skilled workforce are also critical to the industry's success.

Production outputs

The stones produced under HS code 710490 are widely used in the manufacture of jewelry, decorative items, and various industrial applications. These synthetic and reconstructed stones may be consumed by 711311 Jewelry of silver, whether or not plated or clad with other precious metal, 711319 Jewelry of other precious metal, whether or not plated or clad with precious metal, and 701890 Glass beads, imitation pearls, imitation precious or semi-precious stones, and similar glass smallwares, among other related HS codes.
