Overview
This HTS category, 7117.19.05.00, specifically covers toy jewelry that is made of base metal, whether or not plated with precious metal, and which is valued at not over 8 cents per piece. The key defining factor is the low per-piece value, distinguishing it from other imitation jewelry within the broader category of base metal articles. These items are intended for play and mimic real jewelry but are manufactured with less valuable materials and construction methods.
This classification is a subset of the more general "Other" category for imitation jewelry of base metal valued not over 33 cents per meter. While the parent category focuses on continuous lengths of chain and similar articles, this subcategory breaks down the classification by individual piece valuation. Therefore, the primary distinction lies in the unit of measure for valuation: per piece for 7117.19.05.00 versus per meter for related categories at the 7117.19.15.00 level.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive based on the material composition (base metal, potentially plated), its nature as imitation jewelry for toys, and the specific valuation threshold of not exceeding 8 cents per individual piece. Examples might include small plastic or metal charms on a string, inexpensive metal rings or bracelets designed for children's play, or decorative pins that are not intended for adult wear.
