Gold Dore Bars from United States
Gold dore bars are semi-refined gold-silver alloy bars produced directly from mining operations, containing unrefined gold mixed with silver and trace impurities. They are unwrought, non-monetary gold in their crude transport form, destined for further refining. Under Chapter Note 5, the gold content (typically 60-90%) classifies them as gold alloy, falling under this tariff item.
