Sterling Silver Tube Stock from China
Seamless sterling silver tubing (92.5% silver) in diameters from 2 to 10 mm, used as stock for fabricating ring shanks and bangles. As a hollow profile, it does not qualify as unwrought silver and is therefore classified as semi-manufactured under tariff item 7106.92.00. The silver content meets the 2% threshold in Chapter Note 5(c), confirming classification as an alloy of silver.

Import Tips
• Ensure the silver content is documented (e.g
• mill certificate) to support classification as an alloy of silver under Chapter Note 5(c)
• Verify that the tubing is not considered 'unwrought' (e.g
• cast bars) to avoid reclassification
• If importing from a country with a free trade agreement, claim preferential tariff treatment by providing a valid certificate of origin
