About silver (including silver plated with gold or platinum); unwrought or in semi-manufactured forms, or in powder form

HS code 7106 covers the trade and production of silver, including silver plated with gold or platinum, in unwrought or semi-manufactured forms, as well as in powder form. Silver is a precious metal with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, making it an important commodity in the global economy. This industry plays a crucial role in the jewelry, electronics, and chemical sectors, among others.

Production process

The production of silver under HS code 7106 typically involves mining, refining, and processing the raw silver ore. The ore is first extracted from the earth, then undergoes smelting and other purification processes to separate the silver from other minerals. The purified silver can then be cast into ingots, bars, or other semi-manufactured forms, or reduced to a fine powder for specialized applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the silver industry under HS code 7106 include silver ore, mining and refining equipment, and energy sources to power the production processes. Additionally, the industry may rely on other materials, such as 7108 Gold, 7110 Platinum, and various chemicals, depending on the specific applications and production methods used.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the silver industry under HS code 7106 are unwrought silver, silver in semi-manufactured forms (e.g., bars, sheets, tubes), and silver powder. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 7113 Articles of jewelry and parts thereof, 8517 Electrical apparatus for line telephony or line telegraphy, and 2843 Colloidal precious metals; inorganic or organic compounds of precious metals, among others.
