HS v2017 Code: 710812

About metals; gold, non-monetary, unwrought (but not powder)

HS code 710812 covers the classification of unwrought gold, excluding gold powder. This code is of significant importance within the precious metals industry, as gold is a highly valued and widely traded commodity globally. The production and trade of non-monetary gold plays a crucial role in various sectors, including jewelry, electronics, and investment markets.

Production process

The production of unwrought gold typically involves mining, extraction, and refining processes. Gold ore is extracted from mines, then undergoes a series of chemical and physical separation techniques to isolate the pure gold metal. This may include processes such as smelting, leaching, and electroplating to remove impurities and produce the final unwrought gold product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of unwrought gold under HS code 710812 include gold-bearing ore, mining and extraction equipment, and refining facilities. Additionally, energy sources, chemicals, and specialized labor are essential for the various stages of the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 710812 is unwrought gold, which can be further processed and utilized in a wide range of applications. This gold may be consumed by industries such as 711319 Jewelry and goldsmiths' wares, 854449 Electrical conductors, and 710691 Investment-grade gold, among others.
