The US schedule uses per-unit value thresholds: toy jewelry of base metal not exceeding 8 cents each falls under 7117190500 or 7117196000 depending on chain construction, while higher-value pieces are classified elsewhere in the heading. Importers must declare the per-piece or per-meter value accurately, as misclassification between toy and non-toy lines can result in duty underpayment or overpayment.
Yes. Most base-metal imitation jewelry originating in China is subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard column 1 duty rate.
