The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading into nine 10-digit lines ranging from 9613801010 through 9613808000, with breakouts by fuel type, material composition, and unit value (notably the $5-per-dozen threshold). China is the dominant supplier, with Mexico and Italy also significant sources; Italian product tends to concentrate in the decorative and precious-metal segments.
