About heading 7116
Articles of natural or cultured pearls, precious or semiprecious stones (natural, synthetic or reconstructed)
Heading 7116 covers finished articles made of natural or cultured pearls, or of precious, semiprecious, synthetic or reconstructed stones, when the article is not jewelry of precious metal and not a stone that is still unmounted and unset. It splits first by material: 7116.10 for articles of pearls and 7116.20 for articles of stones. Within 7116.20 the lines separate articles of jewelry (by value per piece) from other articles, and then break out semiprecious stone goods such as figurines, temporarily strung graded stones, and a residual other line.
