7118.90 Coin; other than coin of item no. 7118.10
A full HS code. These six digits are what goes on a customs declaration, and they mean the same thing in every country that uses the Harmonized System.
Section XIV, Gems & Precious Metals — pearls, precious stones, precious metals, jewellery and coin.
- 71 Chapter Natural, cultured pearls; precious, semi-precious stones; precious metals, metals clad with precious metal, and articles thereof; imitation jewellery; coin
- 18 Heading Coin
- 90 Subheading Coin; other than coin of item no. 7118.10
Chapter 71 covers natural, cultured pearls; precious, semi-precious stones; precious metals, metals clad with precious metal, and articles thereof; imitation jewellery; coin. Because of the high value density, customs authorities scrutinize this chapter closely, and many countries require additional import documentation (Kimberley Process certificates for diamonds, for example). Classification tip: Rough (uncut) diamonds require a Kimberley Process certificate to cross most borders legally, separate from and in addition to the HS classification, and imitation jewellery is classified differently from genuine precious-metal jewellery even if visually similar.

The wording above is the Harmonized System nomenclature as published by the World Customs Organization, HS 2022 edition. It is a classification reference, not a tariff: it carries no duty rates, and it stops at six digits — the importing country adds its own beyond that.
Classification is decided by the General Rules of Interpretation and the section and chapter notes, and it is the importing country’s customs authority that makes it binding.

7118.90 covers coin; other than coin of item no. 7118.10. It sits under heading 71.18 (coin) in chapter 71, Section XIV of the Harmonized System.
It is the international part of it. Six digits are the same in every country that applies the Harmonized System; the importing country then extends them to eight or ten for its own tariff and statistics. Declare 7118.90 plus whatever national digits the destination’s tariff schedule adds to it.
The General Rules of Interpretation, read together with the notes to Section XIV and to chapter 71. A description that reads right is not enough on its own — the notes routinely pull goods out of the chapter they obviously belong to and put them somewhere else. Where duty or licensing turns on the answer, ask the importing country’s customs authority for a binding ruling.
A wrong or missing code is one of the common reasons customs holds a container, and a hold shows up as a milestone that stops moving. Watch for it in the container tracking app, on the air waybill in the air cargo tracker, or through the tracking API.
