About stones; synthetic or reconstructed precious or semi-precious, whether or not worked or graded but not strung, mounted or set; ungraded synthetic or reconstructed precious or semi-precious stones, temporarily strung for convenience of transport

HS code 7104 covers a diverse range of synthetic or 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 applications spanning from high-end fashion accessories to industrial uses, making this code an important part of the broader economy.

Production process

Synthetic and reconstructed stones are produced through a variety of advanced manufacturing techniques. Common methods include hydrothermal growth, chemical vapor deposition, and melt-based processes. These techniques allow for the precise control of the stone's composition, color, and clarity, enabling the creation of consistent, high-quality products. The stones may be further processed through cutting, polishing, and grading to meet specific market demands.

Production inputs

The production of synthetic and reconstructed stones requires a range of specialized raw materials, equipment, and expertise. Key inputs include high-purity chemical precursors, specialized growth chambers, and advanced cutting and polishing tools. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled technicians and engineers to operate the production equipment and ensure quality control throughout the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 7104 are synthetic and reconstructed precious and semi-precious stones, which are used in a wide range of applications. These stones are commonly used in the manufacture of 7113 Articles of jewelry and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal, 7114 Articles of goldsmiths' or silversmiths' wares and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal, and 7116 (Articles of natural or cultured pearls, precious or semi-precious stones (natural, synthetic or reconstructed)). Additionally, these stones may be used in industrial applications, such as abrasives and optical components.
