Gold Dore Bars
Gold dore bars are semi-refined gold-silver alloy bars produced from mining operations, containing unrefined gold mixed with silver and impurities. They are classified under HTS 7108.12.10 as 'bullion and dore', which refers to unwrought or semi-manufactured forms of non-monetary gold directly from primary extraction.
Unrefined Gold Bullion Dore
Unrefined gold bullion dore consists of cast bars from the first smelting stage of gold ore, typically 60-90% gold with silver content. HTS 7108.12.10 covers this as 'bullion and dore' in unwrought form, distinguishing it from finished semi-manufactured products.
Primary Gold Dore Bullion
Primary gold dore bullion is the initial cast product from milling and smelting gold ore, impure and ready for refinery processing. It fits HTS 7108.12.10 as non-monetary unwrought gold bullion and dore from mining sources.
Mining Gold Dore Ingots
Mining gold dore ingots are rectangular cast bars of semi-pure gold from on-site smelters at gold mines. Classified in HTS 7108.12.10 as bullion and dore, representing unwrought non-monetary gold in its crudest transportable form.
