Last updated: April 2026 dataCostume and fashion jewelry of base metal — chains, religious devotional articles, toy jewelry, and all other base metal imitation jewelry not classifiable as cuff links or studs — falls under this residual heading, one of the highest-volume jewelry import categories in the US schedule. China is overwhelmingly the dominant supplier, with Italy, France, Thailand, and Vietnam also contributing, though China's share reflects its scale in mass-market fashion accessories manufacturing. The US schedule is notably granular, with lines distinguishing toy jewelry chains valued at or below 8 cents each (7117190500), base metal chains valued at or below 33 cents per meter (7117191500), chains above that threshold (7117192000), religious devotional articles to be worn or carried (7117193000), other toy jewelry not over 8 cents each (7117196000), and a general residual line (7117199000).

Line 7117193000 covers base metal religious articles — crosses, medals, scapulars, and similar items — specifically intended to be worn on the person or carried as devotional objects. The devotional purpose and wearable/portable nature are both required; decorative religious figurines meant for display rather than personal use would not qualify and would fall under the residual line 7117199000. The distinction can affect duty rate, so importers should document the article's intended use.
Lines 7117190500 and 7117196000 apply to toy jewelry and other base metal chains valued at or below 8 cents per piece, while 7117191500 covers chains valued at or below 33 cents per meter and 7117192000 covers chains above that per-meter threshold. The declared customs value per unit or per meter on the commercial invoice determines which line applies. Importers should ensure invoices are itemized at the piece or meter level, not in bulk, to support accurate classification.
