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 plays a crucial role in the jewelry and luxury goods sectors, providing the raw materials for the production of high-end, precious metal-based products. The demand for these semi-manufactured materials is closely tied to global economic trends and the preferences of affluent consumers.

Production process

The production of materials 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, ensuring a durable and uniform coating. The resulting semi-manufactured products can then be further processed into a variety of finished goods, such as jewelry, decorative items, or components for luxury electronics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7111 materials include the base metals (such as 7110 Platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium, and ruthenium), precious metals (like 7106 Silver or 7108 Gold), and the platinum used for the cladding process. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, as well as skilled labor, are essential for the precise manufacturing of these high-value materials.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 7111 industry are the semi-manufactured base metals, silver, or gold products that are clad with platinum. These materials are then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 7113 Articles of jewelry and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal and 7114 Articles of goldsmiths' or silversmiths' wares and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal, which use them as inputs for the production of luxury goods and jewelry.
