Last updated: August 2026 dataBase-metal imitation jewelry — whether plain or plated with precious metal — is one of the most granularly subdivided jewelry headings in the US tariff schedule, with lines distinguishing toy jewelry by per-piece value thresholds (7117190500, 7117196000), chain and rope by per-meter value (7117191500, 7117192000), devotional religious articles (7117193000), and general imitation jewelry (7117199000). China dominates supply, with Italy, France, Thailand, and Vietnam also significant sources. Many lines sourced from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin documentation and first-sale valuation strategies particularly important for importers managing landed cost.

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. Importers should verify the applicable Section 301 list and any exclusions that may apply to their specific product, and work with a licensed customs broker to confirm the current duty exposure before shipment.
