HS v2022 Code: 710429

About stones; synthetic or reconstructed precious or semi-precious n.e.c. in heading 7104, unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped

HS code 710429 covers a wide range of synthetic or reconstructed precious and semi-precious stones that are unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped. These materials are used extensively in the jewelry, gemstone, and decorative industries, playing a crucial role in the global trade of precious and semi-precious stones. The production and trade of these materials are important economic activities, contributing to the overall growth and development of the international import/export market.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 710429 typically involves the synthesis or reconstruction of precious and semi-precious stones. This may involve techniques such as crystal growth, chemical vapor deposition, or other specialized manufacturing processes. The stones are then cut, polished, or roughly shaped to meet the specific requirements of various end-use applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the materials covered under HS code 710429 include various raw materials such as mineral compounds, chemical precursors, and specialized equipment for the synthesis and shaping of the stones. Additionally, skilled labor and advanced manufacturing technologies are essential for the efficient and high-quality production of these materials.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 710429 are synthetic or reconstructed precious and semi-precious stones in various forms, such as unworked, sawn, or roughly shaped. These materials are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 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 eyes, other than prosthetic articles; statuettes and other ornaments of lamp-worked glass, among others.
