American Silver Eagle Bullion Coin from Canada

The American Silver Eagle is a 1 troy ounce coin minted by the United States Mint from .999 fine silver, primarily intended for investors as a bullion product rather than circulation. It falls under HTS 7118.90.00 as 'coin (other)' because it is a non-circulating legal tender coin valued mainly for its precious metal content, not numismatic value. This classification applies to silver coins outside specific currency headings.

Import Tips

Verify purity certification (e.g

.999 silver) and obtain assay reports to confirm classification as bullion coin, avoiding reclassification as jewelry

Include US Mint holograms or seals in documentation; declare as non-circulating to prevent customs disputes over collectible status

Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient packaging details—ship in secure tubes or slabs to qualify under coin headings without triggering set classifications
