Last updated: August 2026 dataSection 301 tariffs have significantly affected this heading, which covers costume and fashion jewelry made from plastics, glass, wood, ceramics, and other non-metallic, non-precious materials. The US tariff schedule subdivides the heading by material and unit value, distinguishing plastic necklaces (7117901000), rosaries and chaplets (7117902000), religious articles worn on the person (7117903000), toy jewelry at low per-dozen thresholds (7117904500 and 7117906000), and higher-value plastic or other non-metal pieces (7117907500 and 7117909000). China dominates supply by a wide margin, with Vietnam and Italy serving as secondary sources — a supplier concentration that has pushed many importers to accelerate sourcing shifts. Classification turns critically on material composition and unit value, as the per-dozen price breakpoints determine which 10-digit line applies.

Several lines under 711790 split at per-dozen price thresholds (e.g., not over $0.20 per dozen vs. over $0.20 per dozen). Importers must calculate the actual transaction value per dozen pieces and match it to the correct tariff line; misclassification between toy jewelry and other imitation jewelry lines is a common audit finding.
Yes. Rosaries and chaplets have a dedicated line (7117902000), and other religious articles intended to be worn on the person are separately provided for under 7117903000. Items that do not meet those specific descriptions fall into the residual 'other' lines based on material and unit value.
