What decides the code
A base metal enamel pin is imitation jewelry of base metal under heading 7117, classified in 7117.19.90.00.
- The pin is made of base metal, not a precious metal, so it falls in heading 7117 as imitation jewelry.
- The pin is decorative jewelry worn on clothing, which places it in heading 7117 rather than a hardware or badge heading.
- The pin is not plated with precious metal, so it stays in subheading 7117.19 and takes 7117.19.90.00.
Common mistakes
- Classifying the pin in 7117.11 is wrong because that subheading covers cuff links and studs, not lapel or enamel pins.
- Classifying the pin as a badge in heading 9615 is wrong because that heading covers combs, hair slides and similar personal ornaments, not jewelry pins.
- Classifying the pin under a plastic article heading is wrong because the pin is base metal, even when the enamel face is decorative.
