Sterling Silver Bookmark
A tasseled sterling silver bookmark with literary engraving for personal reading use. Per Chapter 71 Note 9(b), articles of personal use normally carried on the person, such as pocket articles, are classified as jewellery, but Note 2(A) excludes them from heading 71.13 if precious metal is a minor constituent; here, the bookmark is wholly of silver, so it falls under heading 71.14 as silversmiths' wares.
