Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 711790 when importing or exporting imitation jewellery made from materials other than base metals, even if plated with precious metals. For example, a shipment of colorful beaded necklaces or bracelets made from synthetic materials falls under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 711791, which covers imitation jewellery specifically made from base metals. If your products are crafted from plastic, glass, or resin and are not primarily base metals, 711790 is the correct classification.
The 711790 line includes a variety of imitation jewellery items, such as costume rings, earrings, and necklaces, often used for fashion purposes rather than as investment pieces. These items can be made from a mix of plastics, glass, or other non-metal materials.
When considering whether to use this code, think about the materials and end-use of your products. If they are decorative items intended for fashion rather than genuine jewellery, HS-6 711790 is likely the right choice.
