Importers of Base Metal Statuettes & Ornaments (Not Precious Metal Plated) paid $6.7M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $66.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataUnplated base metal statuettes, figurines, and decorative ornaments — cast, stamped, or fabricated from iron, steel, brass, zinc alloy, or other base metals without a precious metal surface finish — are widely traded consumer goods subject to Section 301 tariffs when sourced from China, the dominant supplier. India, Cambodia, and Vietnam serve as alternative sourcing hubs, particularly for hand-finished or artisan-style pieces. The absence of precious metal plating is the critical distinction from subheading 830621, and importers should ensure invoices clearly describe the surface finish to avoid reclassification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. A paint, lacquer, or enamel coating does not constitute precious metal plating, so a painted or lacquered base metal ornament remains classified under 8306290000. Only a genuine precious metal (gold, silver, platinum, etc.) electroplated or otherwise deposited surface finish would move the article to 8306210000.
China's manufacturing scale and tooling infrastructure support high-volume, lower-cost production, but Section 301 tariff exposure has prompted buyers to evaluate India and Vietnam. India is competitive for hand-cast or artisan brass pieces, while Vietnam has grown as a source for stamped and assembled decorative items. Lead times, minimum order quantities, and finishing quality vary significantly across these origins.
