59 HTS codes in this chapter

Pearls, precious stones, and precious metals

Chapter 71 covers natural or cultured pearls, precious or semiprecious stones, precious metals (gold, silver, platinum), clad metals, and imitation jewelry. Imports of precious metals and jewelry are subject to specific financial and tax control regulations. In Mexico, SAT and UIF (Financial Intelligence Unit) oversee precious metal transactions as part of anti-money laundering measures. Classification depends on metal or stone type, purity, and whether it's raw material or manufactured article. Duties vary significantly: raw gold and silver generally have 0% duty, while jewelry may have 15-20% duties.
