Of other precious metal, whether or not plated or clad with precious metal

CN code 7113 19 covers articles of jewellery and parts thereof, of silver, whether or not plated or clad with other precious metals, not classified elsewhere in heading 7113. This category includes rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, brooches, charms, and other jewellery items made of silver with a fineness of at least 800/1000. The jewellery may be decorated with precious stones, enamel, pearls, or other decorative materials, but the base metal must be silver to qualify under this heading. Classification requires distinguishing from jewellery made of base metals (heading 7117), gold jewellery (subheading 7113 11), and goldsmiths' wares (heading 7114). The customs declaration should specify the article type, silver fineness, weight, presence of precious stones or other decorations, and country of origin. The customs value covers the entire article, not just the silver content.

Importing silver jewellery into the European Union is subject to customs, hallmarking, and trade regulations. Duty rates should be verified in the TARIC database or ISZTAR4 system. Silver jewellery must comply with the hallmarking requirements of the Convention on the Control and Marking of Articles of Precious Metals. Each article placed on the EU market should be hallmarked by a national assay office or bear recognised international hallmarks. Product safety regulations require that jewellery does not contain harmful substances above permitted limits, including nickel (REACH Regulation, Entry 27 of Annex XVII). If the jewellery contains organic stones (coral, certain species of amber), CITES regulations may apply. AML regulations impose identification obligations for transactions exceeding thresholds set in the Fifth AML Directive. The importer should hold a hallmarking certificate, REACH compliance declaration, commercial invoice, and certificate of origin.

When planning the import of silver jewellery classified under CN code 7113 19, attention should be paid to the hallmarking requirements in the destination country. In Poland, silver jewellery must be tested and hallmarked by the Assay Office before being placed on the market. Permitted silver finenesses are 800, 830, 925, and 999. The customs value is determined based on the transaction price of the entire article, including craftsmanship, stones, and other decorative elements. Silver jewellery is subject to the standard VAT rate without exemptions provided for investment gold. In 2026, current EU sanctions regarding the country of origin should be checked. Jewellery containing nickel in parts having contact with skin must comply with REACH limits (0.5 micrograms per square centimetre per week). Transport of jewellery requires appropriate insurance. Obtaining Binding Tariff Information ruling is advisable, particularly when an article combines different materials and may be classified under different codes.

CN code 7113 19 of the Combined Nomenclature classifies silver jewellery according to Chapter 71 rules of the EU customs tariff. Correct classification depends on material composition, intended use and degree of working. Customs authorities verify classification through accompanying documents including hallmark certificates and commercial invoices. Where classification is uncertain, importers may apply for Binding Tariff Information (BTI) ruling, providing legal certainty for three years from the date of issue across all EU Member States.
