Product classification

What does HS 710391 include?

HS 710391 covers Stones: rubies, sapphires and emeralds, worked (other than simply sawn or roughly shaped), not strung, mounted or set. This page studies the six-digit Harmonized System classification rather than a company, brand, retail category, or individual shipment.

The classification sits in HS chapter 71 and heading 7103. The recorded trade type is one-way trade, with a unclassified classification in the available product reference data.

How to interpret this page

Compare demand, position, and history together

This HS 710391 trade opportunity page brings together the buyer market in JPN (JPN), the exporter position of China (CHN), and the observed conditions of their trade lane. A large buyer market does not by itself show that every exporter has equal access, and a positive growth rate does not remove the need to examine volatility and historical coverage.

Use the reported imports and exports to understand scale, market share to understand position, projections to understand the calculated forward view, and lane history to understand how much evidence supports the comparison.
