About base metals, silver or gold, clad with platinum; not further worked than semi-manufactured

HS code 7111 covers the classification of base metals, silver, or gold that are clad with platinum. This industry is an important part of the precious metals and jewelry manufacturing sector, providing the raw materials for a wide range of high-value products. The ability to combine different precious metals into a single material allows for the creation of unique and visually striking items, making this industry a crucial component of the broader luxury goods market.

Production process

The production of materials classified under HS code 7111 typically involves the process of cladding, where a layer of platinum is bonded to a base metal, silver, or gold substrate. This is often achieved through techniques such as rolling, pressing, or electroplating, which allow the precious metal to be tightly integrated with the underlying material. The resulting semi-manufactured product can then be further shaped, cut, or refined as needed for various applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7111 materials include the base metals (such as 7106 silver or 7108 gold), as well as the platinum used for the cladding process. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as rolling mills, presses, and electroplating systems, are also essential for the manufacturing of these products. Additionally, skilled labor and technical expertise are necessary to ensure the quality and consistency of the final output.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 7111 industry are the semi-manufactured base metal, silver, or gold products that have been clad with platinum. These materials can be used in a wide range of applications, including the production of 7113 articles of jewelry and parts thereof, 7114 articles of goldsmiths' or silversmiths' wares and parts thereof, and other high-end decorative or functional items. The unique properties and visual appeal of these platinum-clad materials make them highly sought after in the luxury goods and jewelry markets.
