7117.19.30.00 - Religious articles of a purely devotional charac- ter designed to be worn on apparel or carried on or about or attached to the person

This HTS classification, 7117.19.30.00, specifically covers religious articles intended for devotional purposes that are designed to be worn on apparel, carried on or about the person, or attached to the person. The key determinant for inclusion here is the article's intrinsic religious nature and its intended use as a personal devotional item. Examples include rosaries, religious pendants designed for personal wear, and prayer bracelets.

This category is distinct from its sibling category, "Rope, curb, cable, chain and similar articles produced in continuous lengths..." which focuses on basic chain components regardless of their ultimate use. While religious articles might be constructed using such chains, the classification here hinges on the finished article's devotional character and personal wearability.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus is on the precise definition of "religious articles of a purely devotional character designed to be worn on apparel or carried on or about or attached to the person." This means that items that are religious in nature but not designed for personal devotional wearing or carrying, or are intended for decorative rather than devotional purposes, would not fall under this specific heading.
