About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification, 9601.90.40.00, specifically addresses coral that has been cut but not set, as well as cameos, when such items are intended for use in the manufacture of jewelry. The "cut but not set" aspect is crucial, distinguishing these components from finished jewelry pieces. The material itself, coral, is the primary defining characteristic, alongside its preparatory state and intended application.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 9601.90.20.00, which covers worked shell and articles made from shell. It also differs from 9601.90.60.00, which encompasses articles made from bone, horn, hoof, whalebone, quill, or combinations thereof. Unlike these, 9601.90.40.00 is exclusively for worked coral and cameos.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is final at this level, with the primary determining factors being the material (coral or cameos), its processed state (cut but not set), and its intended use in jewelry.
