For the purposes of this chapter, 'precious metals' means silver, gold and platinum. 'Platinum' includes iridium, osmium, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium. The term 'precious metal alloys' includes alloys containing one or more precious metals, provided the precious metal content by weight is at least 2% for platinum group metals or at least 2% for gold or silver alloys (specific thresholds apply). 'Precious stones' and 'semi-precious stones' are defined in the Explanatory Notes and include diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds (precious), and all other gemstones (semi-precious). The chapter also covers 'rolled precious metal' (base metal clad with precious metal by soldering, welding, hot-rolling, etc., where the precious metal coating thickness is at least 5% of total weight). The chapter excludes dental amalgams, chemicals of heading 2843, and coins that are legal tender.
