What decides the code
A necklace is classified by its metal content. Base metal fashion jewelry falls in heading 7117, while silver and gold necklaces fall in heading 7113.
- Metal content decides the heading. Base metal fashion jewelry goes to 7117.19.90.00. Sterling silver goes to 7113.11.50.00.
- A necklace of gold goes to 7113.19.29.90 under the necklaces and neck chains of gold subheading.
- Precious metal content moves the article from heading 7117 to heading 7113, so the metal must be identified before the code is chosen.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a sterling silver necklace under 7117.19.90.00 is wrong because heading 7117 covers imitation jewelry, not articles of precious metal.
- Classifying a gold necklace under 7113.11.50.00 is wrong because that line covers silver, not other precious metal.
- Classifying a base metal fashion necklace under 7113.19.29.90 is wrong because heading 7113 requires precious metal or metal clad with precious metal.
