Classification of semi-manufactured silver under CN code 7106 92

CN code 7106 92 covers silver in semi-manufactured forms, meaning silver processed into forms other than unwrought but not yet ready for use as a finished product. This subheading includes bars, rods, wire, sheets, strips, tubes, and profiles made of silver with a fineness of at least 925/1000 (sterling silver) or higher. Semi-manufactured silver serves as a raw material for the jewellery, electronics, photographic, and medical industries. Classification under this heading requires distinguishing from unwrought silver in the form of unprocessed nuggets or granules (subheading 7106 91) and from finished silver articles (heading 7113 or 7114). The customs declaration must specify the physical form (bar, wire, sheet), silver fineness, weight in grams or kilograms, and country of origin. The customs value is determined based on the transaction value with reference to current silver quotations on world markets.

Regulations governing the import of semi-manufactured silver

Importing semi-manufactured silver into the European Union is subject to several legal frameworks. Duty rates should be verified in the current TARIC database or ISZTAR4 system. As a precious metal, silver is subject to hallmarking regulations under the Convention on the Control and Marking of Articles of Precious Metals (Hallmarking Convention). Products placed on the EU market must bear an appropriate hallmark confirming silver content. Anti-Money Laundering regulations impose customer identification and suspicious transaction reporting obligations on entities trading in precious metals. Since 2022, EU sanctions prohibit the import of gold from Russia and Belarus, while for silver the current sanctions lists should be checked as the scope of restrictions may change. For silver with industrial applications, additional certification requirements may apply. The importer should hold a certificate of analysis confirming metal purity and a commercial invoice.

Practical aspects of importing semi-manufactured silver

When planning the import of semi-manufactured silver classified under CN code 7106 92, the specific characteristics of precious metals trade should be considered. A certificate of analysis from the manufacturer or refiner confirming the fineness and purity of silver is an essential document for customs clearance. Semi-manufactured silver is subject to the standard VAT rate and does not benefit from the exemptions provided for investment gold under Articles 344-356 of the VAT Directive. The customs value should correspond to current market prices, and significant deviations from exchange quotations may trigger verification by customs authorities. Silver transport requires appropriate insurance and security measures due to the high value of the goods. In 2026, importers should check current EU trade restrictions relating to the country of origin. Authorised Economic Operator status can facilitate customs clearance for regular precious metals imports. Semi-manufactured silver is not subject to CBAM obligations.

Silver semi-manufactured - CN 7106 92

Silver in semi-manufactured forms (bars, rods, sheets, strips, wire) under CN 7106 92 carries a 0% EU duty. Customs value based on LBMA market quotations.

Frequently asked questions

Is semi-manufactured silver subject to hallmarking regulations?

Silver products placed on the EU market must bear a hallmark confirming silver content. Standard silver finenesses are 800, 830, 925 (sterling), and 999.

Does silver benefit from VAT exemptions like investment gold?
